Body
In my CakePHP application I have users that are able to be friends with other users. This is done with a <code>users</code> table and a <code>friends_users</code> table which has the following columns: <code>id, user_id, friend_id, status</code> for the relationship. So if user id 1 is friends with user id 2 it would have 1 in the user_id and 2 in friend_id columns And the model for User looks like: <pre><code>public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Friend'=>array( 'className' => 'User', 'joinTable' => 'friends_users', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'friend_id' ) ); </code></pre> When viewing User 1 it works fine and shows User 2 as a friend. BUT when viewing User 2 it does not show User 1 as a friend... So it's not fulling the data when viewed in reverse! Here is the method I use to list the friends for a user: <pre><code>$user = $this->User->find('first', array( 'conditions' => array('User.id' => $this->Auth->user('id')), 'contain'=>'Profile' )); $friends = $this->User->find('first', array( 'conditions'=>array( 'User.id'=>$user['User']['id'] ), 'contain'=>array( 'Profile', 'Friend'=>array( 'Profile', 'conditions'=>array( 'FriendsUser.status'=>1 ) ) ) ) ); $this->set('friends', $friends); </code></pre> Any ideas why this is happening? I have looked through the docs but all seems fine to me. Ideally I'd like to fix my code rather than be pointed to some other resource!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
