Suppose one has a need for categories of articles, products, downloads, etc., within the same application.
What would be a better approach to implementing this? 1. having a different categories table/model for each, like article_categories, product_categories, download_categories, etc. 2. having a single categories table/model and defining subcategories called articles, products, downloads, and then putting the various article categories under articles, product categories under products, etc. 3. having a single model with multiple tables, and dynamically switching the table it uses. Option #1 means duplicate tables, models, fields, and validation rules, but might end up being cleaner. I am also wary of gotchas I haven’t thought of in option #2,3. Any suggestions? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
