I guess the problem you have is that you can't access components (ie
to send an email) from a Model. The options you have are:
- Use loadComponent in your model to get access to your email
component.
- Put the email sending functionality into your model (or app_model,
or a model behaviour), as you can still use vendor() in a model.
- Use requestAction from the model to execute an appropriate
controller action
- Handle the email sending in your controller, after a successful
save. This is good if you only have a couple of possible save points.
Personally, I like the idea of having a Model Behaviour, which uses
loadComponent to access your email sending component. The behaviour
would provide a simplified api, so your models could just have
function afterSave(){
$this->sendEmail( $to, $message );
}
Of course, I like this just because I haven't made any Model
Behaviours yet, and they sound pretty cool :)
