Hi you know when you declare a scaffold variable in a controller and then cake puts up a scaffold... well how does cake know that you have done that ?
I mean is this some sort of heathen black magic?

AmeliaR, you're extending AppController class. This class will watch if you declare that variable

Thanks Poolkop
"If you plan to relate tables, use foreign keys that look like: 'article_id'. The table name is singular, followed by an underscore, followed by 'id'."
So say i want to relate two tables
Users and posts
Can i just put a user_id key in the posts table or do i need a seperate table all together to handle the linking?

[Poolkop]

User_id at post

[AmeliaR]

Sorry what ?

[Poolkop]

AmeliaR, put an user_id field in posts table

[AmeliaR]

Cool thanks and what do you do for a many to many relationship ?
Is there any special naming convention for the linking table ?

[jomanda]

yes posts_users in alphabetical order that is
