Thank you very much, that did the trick!
It seems a bit confusing how $this->Model->validates($this->data)
doesn't work, but $this->Model->set($this->data) and $this->Model-
>validates() does, so thanks for clarifying.
Just for posterity, now I'm doing this, and it works like a charm:
if (!empty($this->data)) {
// The user's submitting her new record
$this->Model->set($this->data);
if ($this->Model->validates()) {
// The main record hypothetically would add just fine
if ($this->Model->RelatedModel->save($this->data)) {
// The related record added just fine
// Actually add the main record
$this->Model->save($this->data));
$this->Session->setFlash("{$this->data['Model']['name']}
has been added.");
$this->redirect("wherever");
exit();
} else {
// The related record wouldn't save
$this->Session->setFlash("Sorry, {$this->data['Model']
['name']} couldn't be added.");
}
} else {
// The main record wouldn't hypothetically save
$this->Session->setFlash("Sorry, {$this->data['Model']
['name']} couldn't be added.");
}
}
Thanks for your help, and I hope that clarifies things a bit for
anyone else trying to do the same thing!
Zoe.
