Forms can only submit to one location, but you can put all of the
fields together in form.
Example View:
<form action="<?php echo $this->here; ?>" method="post" class="form">
<?php foreach($form_fields as $section_name => $field_section): ?>
<?php echo $form->inputs($field_section); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="controls">
<?php echo $form->submit('Save');?>
</div>
</form>
The value of $form_fields is:
Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[legend] => Product
[Product.id] => Array()
)
[Binocular] => Array
(
[legend] => Binocular
[Binocular.id] => Array()
)
)
Then in the controller you can call the saves for the different models
assuming they are associated together. I'm sure there's a cleaner way
to save them all in one call but I didn't spend the time to do it.
