That's easy enough to do:
class AppModel extends Model {
function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
if (strtolower(get_class($this)) == 'appmodel') {
$this->log("Auto-creating model. I really wish I had called
debug_backtrace in order to tell which line called this but I didn't.
Haha.");
}
}
}
