| Jun 19, 2014 at 7:18 | comment | added | Lindsey D | Not being critical, just curious... What is the purpose behind each section (Books & Colors) having a reference to each others' ids? As in, why does Books have a colorId field and Colors has a bookId field? This isn't traditional database architecture... If it is a one-to-many relationship, then only one section needs to reference the other. If it is a many-to-many relationship, then the connecting data will be stored in the craft_relations table. | |

Also each entry of Colors has a field of bookId, and each entry of Books has a field colorId. I save an entry of Colors with bookId 24 and it should automatically add the this newly saved color entry's id in the Book entry with id 24 (in the colorId field). | |

| Jun 19, 2014 at 3:25 | comment | added | user3309362 | Yeah I would use Services, Records and models but I do not have an idea how to use a record with a table outside of my own plugin. I mean is there a way to associate a record with the default contents table in the craft database? | |
