    copied!<p>I've been wrestling with this find() query for a while. For reference about the tables, see the question here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7671525/cakephp-twitter-clone-cant-get-follow-system-to-work">CakePHP Twitter-clone: Can&#39;t get follow-system to work</a>.</p> <p>However, in short, this is for a twitter clone I'm doing for self-learning. I have three tables. </p> <pre><code>Users (id, name) Tweets (id, user_id, content, date) UserUsers (id, user_id, follower_user_id) </code></pre> <p>As models, I have Users, Tweets, and Followers (HABTM users).</p> <p>Right now, I have this find query:</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;User-&gt;bindModel(array('hasOne' =&gt; array('UserUsers'))); $fields = array('User.username'); $conditions = array( 'UserUsers.user_id'=&gt; $current_id); $contain = $this-&gt;User-&gt;contain(array( 'UserUsers', 'Tweet' =&gt; array( 'fields'=&gt; array('Tweet.content', 'Tweet.date'), 'order' =&gt; 'Tweet.date DESC', 'limit' =&gt; 1))); $data = $this-&gt;User-&gt;find('all', compact('fields', 'conditions', 'contain')); </code></pre> <p>Which produces this SQL statement, which is ALMOST what I want:</p> <pre><code>SELECT `User`.`username`, `User`.`id` FROM `users` AS `User` LEFT JOIN `user_users` AS `UserUsers` ON (`UserUsers`.`user_id` = `User`.`id`) WHERE `UserUsers`.`user_id` = 1 </code></pre> <p>This is very close, but it's returning the wrong column in my table. I would like to produce the follow SQL statement:</p> <pre><code>SELECT `User`.`username`, `User`.`id` FROM `users` AS `User` LEFT JOIN `user_users` AS `UserUsers` ON (`UserUsers`.`follower_user_id` = `User`.`id`) WHERE `UserUsers`.`user_id` = 1 </code></pre> <p>Any help on how to tweak my find() query would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>
