Deleting items and their children if they belongTo

[Taff]

I'm luvin cakephp at the moment, in particular how fast things get
done, and all the hidden functionality that automagically happens. I
was wondering if there is a simple way to do the following:

I have baked a few controllers, models and views, but if I delete an
item using threads/delete/3 is there an easy way of deleting all the
posts (with an thread_id of 3) that belongTo the thread with an id
of 3, which I have defined as hasMany posts, or do I need to do it
manually?

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi,

 I have baked a few controllers, models and views, but if I delete an
 item using threads/delete/3 is there an easy way of deleting all the
 posts (with an thread_id of 3) that belongTo the thread with an id
 of 3, which I have defined as hasMany posts, or do I need to do it
 manually?

Yes:
