Ok, just checked with the CakePHP book again, and it is a little more
complicated than just saving the data.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/75/Saving-Your-Data#Saving-Related-Model-Data-HABTM-85
In the add a friend case, you are right! You have to save the
information in the HABTM table yourself, so as to avoid that CakePHP
automatically removes the friendships that are not specified in the
data.
So you data structure should be:
array
(
[FriendUser] => array
(
[user_id] => 999
[friend_id] => 888
)
)
and you use $this->FriendUser->save($this->data) to save it.
Sorry for the previous confusing posts!
Enjoy,
John
