Relationship Mapping between Users and Data, like OpenSourceFood.com

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I am working on my first test application using the CI framework, based in general concept on Yong Fook's opensourcefood.com, which is a CodeIgniter application. The relationship is one to many, like OSF's users submitting many recipes. I asked nicely of Yong Fook for examples, a link or book to where he learned from, or code samples so I could learn, but he declined to help.

My basic issue at this point is where to look for good guidance, tutorials and examples of mapping users to data using CI, at each end, MV&C. I have installed and customized FreakAuth as a starting point for getting user's registered and am currently looking to modify their profiles with the linkages to data they submit but don't know where to go...

Help, please!
