I beg to differ. From Mariano's own blog: http://tinyurl.com/4kbe9q In Cake 1.2, extra fields in the join models are easy to integrate into your application. There are plenty of situations where additional information in the join table is useful, the simplest being the date/time that the join record was created, such as in the prototypical articles_tags example; sometimes it is useful to know when a particular article was associated with a particular tag, or vice versa. Other examples could include an online shopping system, where you would have products, carts, and carts_products (taken from an old thread on this group). The logical location to indicate the quantity of a product in a cart would be in the carts_products join table. -Joel. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
