I'm beginning on my second cake project and I need some advice with my model setup. Here's the deal: I have several models that users can vote up or down (think like stackoverflow - how users can vote on both questions and answers), but I would like to keep track of vote history. Users can vote on publications, issues, etc., so I figured the rating of each record would be stored in those respective models, i.e. publications.rating. At the same time, I need to keep track of the information of the individual votes (user, which model, id of the record, voted_up, timestamp, etc.). The only way I can think of to accomplish this is to have a vote model with all of these fields. I guess that's fine and all, but there should be a ton of votes and this table could get huge. I feel like this is a pretty common task, so I just want to ask if there is any better convention for this sort of function. Thanks guys. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
