The foreign_key is the id of the other model. So: id => 15 model => Seller foreign_key => 5 Here's some code from one of my apps. User: public $hasOne = array( 'Member' => array( 'className' => 'Member', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ), 'Affiliate' => array( 'className' => 'Affiliate', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ), 'Administrator' => array( 'className' => 'Administrator', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id', 'dependent' => true ) ); Member: public $belongsTo = array( 'User' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'foreignKey' => 'user_id' ), 'Country', 'Region' ); UsersController: function admin_add($model = null) { if (!empty($this->data)) { $model = $this->data['User']['model']; if ($this->User->{$model}->save($this->data)) { $foreign_key = $this->User->{$model}->getLastInsertID(); $this->data['User']['foreign_key'] = $foreign_key; $password = $this->_createPassword(); $this->data['User']['password'] = $password['hash']; $this->User->create(); if ($this->User->save($this->data)) { $user_id = $this->User->getLastInsertID(); $this->User->{$model}->saveField('user_id', $user_id); Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
