Re: How to save extra field in join table in HATBM Cake1.2

Hi Andre,

In the HABTM relationship definition you can define an attribute
'with' where you can specify which model acts as the HABTM model (in
your case posts_tags). Then you can create the posts_tags model which
gets saved with the additional fields.
I have not experimented with it but I saw some articles/posts about
this a few days ago (a quick search did not turn up any useful links
so you'll have to search for yourself).
Hope this helps (or at least a little ;)).

Good luck!
