Re: Selecting users who are not friends

Understood.

So, then I'll keep looking.

...but (in the off-chance that is usable by anyone), I got what I
needed by following your suggestion. Here's what I did:

//Get the Current User's ID (from the session)
$target = $this->Session->read('User.id');

//Get IDs of all Friends of current user (as a list)
$myFriends = $this->User->FriendList->find('list', array
('fields'=>'friend_id','conditions' => array('user_id' => $target)));
//Now, add current user's ID to the myFriends array() (don't want to
add myself)
$myFriends[] = $target;
//This gets me everyone but me and my friends
$NotFriendsYet = $this->User->findAll(array('NOT' => array('id' =>
$myFriends)));

If there's a simpler solutions, please let me know - but for now I
think this works.

Thanks!
