Re: Field Naming conventions and hasmany records

You'll have to save the topic first and then fetch it's id. From the
cookbook: "If neither of the associated model records exists in the
system yet (for example, you want to save a new User and their related
Profile records at the same time), you'll need to first save the
primary, or parent model." http://book.cakephp.org/view/84/Saving-Related-Model-Data-hasOne-hasMany-belongsTo
