Sounds good. I think I found your post to an earlier similar question http://cakephp.1045679.n5.nabble.com/model-for-different-role-users-td132610 6.html
How do you set up the "foreign_key" for example Seller has id: 5 user_id: 15 so User model would be seller but foreign_key? Id => 15? Thanks Dave -----Original Message----- From: cricket [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-25-10 2:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Table / Role / Profile Relations You could use separate models: Administrator, Buyer, and Seller. Plus have a User model to handle logins. So users has columns: email password model foreign_key In your login() do a switch on $this->Auth->user('model') to decide where to redirect to.
