Hey, nice tips, just figured these out myself right before finding your article. Regarding counterCache being generated only in CREATE, a $this->updateCounterCache in model’s afterSave should be enough to also handle UPDATEs.

Thanks, I did check the source and found out the same thing. I think I would have to make a custom beforeSave function in my child model to update the parent model and model the join table, and use belongsTo/hasA relationships to/from the join table and the (formerly) HABTM tables.

If anyone has done this, and wouldn’t mind posting out how they’ve done it, that will be great.

This was a great tutorial, and first place I’ve found any reference to counterScope. Good job.

@1, counter cache will work for any model relation that is ‘belongsTo’ another model, other relations is not yet supported, and not quite sure if it will be.

Will counterCache work for HABTM relationships, or self-joined tables (hierarchical categories, for example)? Can you give examples if this is possible? Thanks.
