Yii multiple relationship

In my database, I have 5 tables:

  • game (game_id, name, ...)
  • tag (tag_id, name, ...)
  • collection (coll_id, name, ...)
  • collections_tags (id, coll_id, tag_id)
  • game_tag (id, game_id, tag_id)

Each game has many tags, the collection has many tags. If I take a collection, I can find her games using collection tags.

I am trying to accomplish this task using yii relationships:

//in Collection relations:
 'tags'=>array(self::MANY_MANY, 'Tag',  'collections_tags(coll_id,tag_id)'),  
 'games'=>array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Game','tag_id', 'through'=>'tags')

Then I get $ collection and try:

 echo "collection ".$collection->name.": (id=".$collection->coll_id.") has ".count($collection->tags)."tags\n";
echo count($coll->games);//error here

and get an error.
What's wrong with the relationship?

As you can see here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/database.arr#relational-query-with-through , the correct declaration of this relationship would be as follows:

 'games'=>array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Game', array('tag_id'=>'id'), 'through'=>'tags')
