Models

 

1. Model::saveAll(),

2.  Model::saveAssociated(),

3.  Model::validateAssociated()

    

   ex. Model::saveAll() and friends now support passing the fieldList for multiple models.

    

   $this->SomeModel->saveAll($data, array(
       'fieldList' => array(
           'SomeModel' => array('field_1'),
           'AssociatedModel' => array('field_2', 'field_3')
       )
   ));
   

   Model::saveAll() and friends now can save unlimited levels deep. Example:
   

   $data = array( 'Article' => array('title' => 'My first article'), 'Comment' => array( array('body' => 'Comment 1', 'user_id' => 1), array('body' => 'Save a new user as well', 'User' => array('first' => 'mad', 'last' => 'coder')) ), ); $this->SomeModel->saveAll($data, array('deep' => true));
