Re: afterSave best practice - feedback wanted!

Cheers for replying, I'm using counterCache for the belongsTo
relationships, but this is for post count in the forum so its
effectively 2 relationships away, so I kinda work my way back up to
forum then increment the post count.

Its basically to stop myself using counts etc...

As I said, it works fine, just had that nagging feeling there might be
a better way! ;)
