No it doesn't. It explains exactly the basic functionality I know works. What I was interested in finding out was if there was some special trick to get it to save models associated to the associated model.
Or in example form as in the link you provided: Todo hasMany Tasks but Tasks also hasMany SomethingElse When savingAll I first expected all three models to be saved but they are not. So I thought that possibly I would have to put the SomethingElse-data somewhere special or that the function only (no criticism implied) saves a single level of association. I tried moving "SomethingElse" into Tasks but the results were the same. I just want to know if it should work or not, that's all. /Martin On Sep 1, 9:55 pm, the_woodsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does this article (number one google hit) shed any light? > > http://blog.matsimitsu.nl/code/166/saveall-with-cakephp-part2 > > On Sep 1, 4:04 pm, Preloader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I just overwrote the saveAll() function in the Location model and > > saved the deep-level-association manually in order to rollback the > > whole transaction when validation fails.
