Hello everyone,

I have a bit of a twist on "favorites" that I'm not sure how to handle. I
have a Users model and a ThingFunction model. A user can create a
ThingFunction. Also, I want users to be able to have ThingFunctions as
favorites (which would be a HABTM relationship in a join table
thing_functions_users).

So, for the first part, I use:

ThingFunction model:

var $belongsTo = array(
        'User' => array(
            'className' => 'User',
            'counterCache' => true,
            'counterScope' => array ('ThingFunction.is_inappropriate' => 0)
            ),
        );

User model:

    var $hasMany = array(
        'ThingFunction' => array(
            'className' => 'ThingFunction',
            'conditions' => 'ThingFunction.is_inappropriate = 0'
            )
     );

How do I handle the favorites part? Would I just add this to ThingFunction:

var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('User');

And this in the User model:

var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('ThingFunction');

If above is correct, then how would I differentiate between ThingFunctions
that belong to a user (created by them) and ThingFunctions that are a User's
favorite?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tamim
