Hello everyone, I just started using CakePHP. I followed the blog
tutorial and would like to attach images to posts with David Persson
media plugins, but I wonder if it's possible to use a "many to many"
relation (habtm).
I made this structure in the database:

posts table:
   id
   title
   body

attachments table:
   id
   model
   dirname
   basename
   checksum

attachments_posts table:
   attachment_id
   post_id

Models:
class Post extends AppModel {
    var $name = 'Post';
    var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
        'Attachment' => array(
                'className' => 'Media.Attachment',
                'joinTable' => 'attachments_posts',
                'foreignKey' => 'post_id',
                'associationForeignKey' => 'attachment_id',
        )
    );
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Attachment extends AppModel {

        var $name = 'Attachment';
        var $actsAs = array(
                'Media.Transfer' => array(
                        'trustClient' => false,
                        'baseDirectory' => MEDIA_TRANSFER,
                        'destinationFile' => 
':Medium.short::DS::Source.basename:',
                        'createDirectory' => true
                ),
                'Media.Media' => array(
                        'metadataLevel' => 2,
                        'makeVersions' => true,
                        'filterDirectory' => MEDIA_FILTER
                )
        );

        var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
                'Post' => array(
                        'className' => 'Post',
                        'joinTable' => 'attachments_posts',
                        'foreignKey' => 'attachment_id',
                        'associationForeignKey' => 'post_id',
                )
        );
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This doesn't work: when i add a post it stores the post record in post
table but it doesn't upload the attachment and saves the attachment
record in the database...

Sorry for my English.
Many thanks.
