ok i got it
thx for the help Carlos.
The idea was right. Just couldnt get it for the simpl typo.
$this->First->Second->save(
.... :
I.E.
as a matter of fact one CAN call a (different) model method via the
Controller ...
Its only a matter of getting the data into the right format with the
(for beginners) queer syntax.
why doesnt anybody just simply tell that to all the poor newbies who
all start doing strange requestaction stuff ?
because its not obvious (to me only maybe ?? ) that the model method
in first can call the model method of the second !
so : in the FirstConrtoller :
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->First->save($this->data)) {
$defSec = array ('first_id'=>$this->First-
>id);
if ($this->First->Second->save($defSec)) //
dont know if create() is necessary b4
$this->Session->setFlash('Your First has been
saved, and the 'first of the second' created :) ');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
}
}
