Re: Question about Model::save() and its beforeSave and afterSave callbacks

Thank you all for your help, There were many good suggestions, some of which helped optimize my code. However the bug boiled down to something stupid (of course). I created my the association for my ProjectTask model wrong in my Schedule model. It should *not* have been pluralized. Not sure why

Try putting: $this-ProjectTasks-create(); in each loop of the foreach in Schedule::afterSave() When you call save() multiple times on the same model, I have found that I run into problems if I don't call create() in between each call to save(). On Apr 17, 3:00 pm, Joshua McFarren [EMAIL

What I would do to verify this behavior is to debug the model itself (Cake library). Just copy the original to a second file for safe keeping and start digging. I would step debug statements through the save() method and see if I could determine whether the beforeSave is called. Looking at

Question about Model::save() and its beforeSave and afterSave callbacks

2008-04-17 Thread Joshua McFarren
Hi, Is there a case where Model::save() doesn't initiate the beforeSave and afterSave callbacks for that Model? Maybe this doesn't work from another afterSave callback? Are these callbacks only initiated when Model::save() is accessed from a Controller not another Model? I have a Schedule Model

Hi Aran, Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I tried that and it doesn't make a difference. The syntax i tried is: $this-ProjectTasks-create(); $this-ProjectTasks-save($task); In either case the save method does update the row in the DB but the callbacks don't happen. Any other ideas? -
