I've completed this using Robby Anderson's suggestions. I found that
it would probably be easiest to create a Notes component to do the
tricker, here is all the code:
---- NOTES COMPONENT
<?php
class NoteComponent extends Object
{
var $note_model = 'Note';
var $parent_field = 'parent';
var $parent_id_field = 'parent_id';
var $text_field = 'text';
function saveNote($parent,$parent_id,$text)
{
//create a new note object
if (ClassRegistry::isKeySet($this->note_model))
{
$UserModel =& ClassRegistry::getObject($this-
>note_model);
}
else
{
loadModel($this->note_model);
$UserModel =& new $this->note_model;
}
$arr = array($this->note_model =>
array(
$this->parent_field => $parent,
$this->parent_id_field => $parent_id,
$this->text_field => $text
)
);
$UserModel->save($arr);
}
}
?>
--------- NOTES MODEL
<?php
class Note extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Note';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Product' =>
array('className' => 'Product',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
'conditions' => "Note.parent =
'Product'",
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'counterCache' => ''
),
'Manufacturer' =>
array('className' => 'Manufacturer',
'foreignKey' => "Note.parent =
'Manufacturer'",
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'counterCache' => ''
),
);
}
?>
----- Product model (for example)
class Product extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Product';
var $hasMany = array(
'Note' =>
array('className' => 'Note',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
'conditions' => "Note.parent =
'Product'",
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'dependent' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
),
);
}
?>
Then this can be used very easily from any controller:
function admin_view($id = null) {
$this->Note->saveNote('Product',$id,'Product was viewed.');
}
Make sure to do $components = Array('Note');
I hope this helps someone!
