Use Counter cache for HABTM association in cakephp - cakephp

Question

I have two Tables:
it is defined as follow:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users_correlations` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`correlated_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`type` char(1) NOT NULL,
`created` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=11 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`username` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`first_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`role` varchar(2) NOT NULL,
`gender` char(1) NOT NULL,
`dob` date DEFAULT NULL,
`location` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`photo` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`photo_dir` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`about_me` tinytext,
`created` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
`follower_count` INT DEFAULT 0,
`following_count` INT DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=42 ;
Now i defined HABTM association as follow:
public $hasAndBelongsToMany=array(
'Following'=>array(
'className'=>'User',
'joinTable'=>'users_correlations',
'ForeignKey'=>'correlated_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'user_id'
),
'Followers'=>array(
'className'=>'User',
'joinTable'=>'users_correlations',
'ForeignKey'=>'user_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'correlated_id'
)
);
Now i want to implemnt Countercache to track record of number of followers and following..
I use ConterCacheHabtm behavior for my model referred by
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/danaki/2009/05/29/counter-cache-behavior-for-habtm-relations
but for my association it is not updating my follower_count and following_count.
Please Help in this scenario.

Answer 1

'Followers'=>array(
'className'=>'User',
'joinTable'=>'users_correlations',
'ForeignKey'=>'user_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'correlated_id',
'counterCache' => true
)
You need to add the 'counterCache' => true to the array. The rest looks like it should work fine.
