    <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>

    2. COYes, my user model has this: var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'Follower' => array( 'className' => 'Follower', 'joinTable' => 'user_users', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'associationForeignKey' => 'follower_user_id' ) );

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.
