Consider database triggers. I recommend using database trigger for REALLY simple situations that involve no more then 3 line of code.
In you example pseudo code should looks something like this. After update trigger on competitions . #If NEW.complete == yes #Select awardpoints into new_points from competitions #Update users set points = new_points where id = user_id; Its better to call stored procedures from within the trigger to do the job. For more complicated situations create a stored procedure in the database and call this procedure from your model aftersave(); Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
