here's a snippet from one of my controllers, it makes it possible to
have a single text input, into which people enter their tags as a
comma separated list. It checks to see if a tag already exists before
creating the association.
$i = 0;
foreach ($tags as $tag)
{
if ($tag != " " && $tag != "")
{
$tag = trim($tag);
if (!$result = $this->Controller->Tag->findByName ($tag))
{
$data['Tag'] = array();
$data['Tag']['id'] = null;
$data['Tag']['name'] = $tag;
$data['Tag']['handle'] =
$this->Sanitize->paranoid($tag);
$data['Tag']['description'] = null;
$this->Controller->Tag->save($data);
$result = $this->Controller->Tag->read();
}
}
$this->params['data']['Tag']['Tag'][$i] = $result['Tag']['id'];
++$i;
}
$this->Controller->save($this->params['data']);

Re: saving hasAndBelongsToMany without form?
Aha! I think I actually had it right before, but Cake appears to care
about the order of the top-level array. So if it goes ('Post', 'Tag')
it works but if it goes ('Tag', 'Post) it doesn't.
It would be neat if a future version of Cake could take this a step
further and create associated records on the fly. So if instead of
supplying an ID you supplied an array of fields (like you do for a
normal save operation), it would create the relevant tag record. Right
now saving with existing tags is easy, but I still need to create new
ones manually.

Aha! I think I actually had it right before, but Cake appears to care
about the order of the top-level array. So if it goes ('Post', 'Tag')
it works but if it goes ('Tag', 'Post) it doesn't.
It would be neat if a future version of Cake could take this a step
further and create associated records on the fly. So if instead of
supplying an ID you supplied an array of fields (like you do for a
normal save operation), it would create the relevant tag record. Right
now saving with existing tags is easy, but I still need to create new
ones manually.
