So the News items should "Belong To" a user. The problem I see is that
you can't seem to define a "local key"?
My code in the News controller should look like this yeah?
var $belongsTo = array('Creator' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'localKey' => 'creator_id',
//can't seem to define this?
),
'Modifier' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'localKey' => 'modifer_id',
//can't seem to define this?
),
);
How can I define the local key?
