Your associations will be something like: Activity belongsTo User hasMany Comment
>From Comment model, one can do: $this->User->Activity->save(...) So, this could be done in afterSave() of a behavior for Comment. The behavior should work fine for any model that is associated with User. You should use Cake's naming conventions: users, activities, comments, etc. for tables, and user.php, activity.php, comment.php for the models.
