Re: Cakephp way to add related items

In CommentsController::add() do something like this:

if ($this->Comment->validates())
{
if ($this->Comment->save($this->data))
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash('...');
$this->redirect(
array(
'controller' => 'Articles',
'action' => 'view',
$this->data['Comment']['article_id']
)
);
}

So, instead of letting Cake call validates() automatically when you
call save(), you invoke it yourself so as to have some finer control
over what happens next.
