Hi i'm new in cakephp I'm starting to do an application and i'm wondering if i can save in different models from one form.
For more specific: I have three models TuristSite: Has One Contact Contact: Belongs To a TuristSite, Has Many Telephones Telephone: Belongs To a Contact I want to put all the information for this three models in one form in the action turist_sites/add In the add.ctp of turist_sites echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.name'); echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.logo', array('type'=>'file')); echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.website'); echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.address'); echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.description'); echo $this->Form->hidden('TuristSite.votes', array('value'=>'0')); echo $this->Form->hidden('TuristSite.views', array('value'=>'0')); echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.User'); echo $this->Form->input('Contact.name'); echo $this->Form->input('Contact.last_name'); echo $this->Form->input('Contact.email'); echo $this->Form->hidden('Contact.turist_site_id'); echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.0.number); echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.0.contact_id); echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.1.number); echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.1.contact_id); echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.2.number); echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.2.contact_id); And this i have controller's add action $turistSiteData = $this->data['TuristSite']; $contactData = $this->data['Contact']; if ($this->TuristSite->save($turistSiteData) { if ($this->TuristSite->Contact- >addContactTuristSite($this->TuristSite->id, $contactData)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The turist site has been saved', true)); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->TuristSite->delete($this- >TuristSite->id, false); $this->Session->setFlash(__('The contact of the turist site could not be saved. Please, try again.', true)); } } And i have a function in the Contact Model function addContactTuristSite($id = null, $data = null) { if ($id == null && data == null){ return false; } else{ $data['Contact']['turist_site_id'] = $id; return $this->save($data); } } When i run this, just save the information for the TuristSite and insert a row in the Contacts table but just with the id and the turist_site_id. I don't know if you understand my problem. And if this the best way to do this.
