Question

I am using cakePHP 1.26.
I am going to build a very simple forum on localhost.
Here is the conceptual design for the Database:

Tables:
User {user_id, name, date}
Topic {post_id, title, content, date}
Reply {post_id, content, date}
Quote {quote_post_id, post_type, post_id}

A User may have many Topic
A User may have many Reply
A Topic may have many Quote
A Reply may have many Quote
(Both Topic and Reply may be quoted once or many times)

Please help and advise.

Answer 1

User {id, name, logname, password}

Topic {id, title, content, date, user_id}

Reply {id, content, date, topic_id, user_id}

I’m not sure about Quote… I do not know why that does not fit under Reply.
