Hey all - I'm working through a few articles and tutorials in an effort to migrate at least one of my existing apps into Cake and I got to wondering about how to handle a scenario that I'm going to run into.
I have several apps that deal with both documents (word docs, pdfs, etc.) and images. Because they share many properties, I have a binary table containing fields for file size, path, URI, name, etc. and an image table containing image specific properties like height, width and file_id (the foreign key back to its other properties in the binary table). The examples and tutorials I've found so far, in an effort to keep it simple (hopefully), have focused on one model, one table. For example, the Posts model retrieves data from the posts table. In fact, most barely mention the model since Cake appears to handle the simple scenario with remarkably little code in the model. In my Image model, data would have to be retrieved from multiple tables. What's the "Cake way" of going about this? Thanks.
