Re: Use the dreaded requestAction()... or use something else?

If some association exists between these objects, you can do something
like:

$this->User->save($this->data);
$this->User->Site->save(array('Site' => array(
'user_id' => $this->User->id,
// --- any other data
)));
$this->User->Site->SitePage->save(array('SitePage' => array(
'site_id' => $this->User->Site->id,
// --- any other data
)));

Tada!
Associationes from User to Site, and Site to SitePages need to exist for
that to work.

Cheers,
Graham
