Hey, @Jeremy:
That's what I did after few tries. I set the fields where I need foreign keys to static values, checked the user-input of every model with $this->model->validates() and if sth. is wrong, I invalidate the field so I can put error messages besides the normal validation ones wherever I want to. When all user- given data is validatet, I save the models and use the id's to set the fields of the related models. It wasn't so bad at all, but when you use invalidate() you have to consider some REALLY important things, such as no use of READ in the action, as this will break the displaying of the field-related error messages (believe me, it does, and it took me quite a bit to figure that out!) Also you need to save the output of $this->model->invalidFields() because when you don't, error displaying is broken again. That's a known issue, hope they'll fix it in Cake 1.3. This was a tricky one, but in the end I'm really happy it worked out! :) Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
