I am not sure if adding exists() to beforeSave is another DB query or not.
But, why not add a field in your add and edit functions?
function admin_add($id = null) {
// other checks
if ($this->request->isPost() || $this->request->isPut()) {
$this->request->data['new'] = true;
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
// save
}
}
}
function admin_edit($id = null) {
// other checks
if ($this->request->isPost() || $this->request->isPut()) {
$this->request->data['new'] = false;
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
// save
}
}
}
function beforeSave() {
// other checks
if (!empty($data['new']) && $data['new']===true ) {
// do when adding
} else {
// do when editing
}
// not sure the unset is needed, since the field does not exist
in DB.
unset($this->request->data['new']);
}
