If you only want to do this on a single model, you could forget the behaviour.
Just do something like this in your Campaign model:
function beforeSave() {
$this->data['Campaign']['slug'] =
Inflector::slug($data['User']['first_name'] . ' ' . $data['User']['last_name']);
}
That's obviously a very slim piece of (untested) code that isn't doing any
checks and assumes that you have populated the $data['User'] array key, but it
ought to work with a bit of tweaking.
