Hi Joshua,
If you have a $data array containing data for a record in A and 0 or
more records in B, you can use saveAll.
So, if your $data is something like:
array(
[A] = array(
[id] = 12,
[otherdata] = 'some string'
),
[B] = array(
[0] = array(..),
[1] = array(..)
)
);
you can call model A in your a-controller:
A-saveAll($data,array('atomic' = true, 'validate' = 'first'));
This will save all the data in the A-record and associated B-records.
But take care:
- This will only work if you have set up the relationship. So in A
there must be something like:
var $hasMany = array('B' = array('dependent' = true))
and in B:
var $belongsTo = 'A'
Check the meaning of these options here:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/78/Associations-Linking-Models-Together
- The 'atomic' option only works if you can use transactions, like in
mysql InnoDB (not the default myIsam) tables.
- Tip: put this before the line where you want to use saveAll, to see
if the $data is ok:
pr($data); exit();
This will save A + B. The only thing it will not do is remove the
records in B that no longer belong to A. This is something I will post
an item about, right now.
