Re: Possible to define a global "add-function" in the appController?

Yes, you can do it! But instead of passing the Model object, you can
just pass the Model name and use $this->{$model}->save(); instead.

But where is the $model coming from? Add usually is being invoked due
to a HTML form being submitted to it! Are you suggesting to put the
model name into the form, not a good idea then.

Are your controllers only using one model and the models is named the
same as the controller (singular)? If that is so, you don't need to
pass the model, just take your controllers name and Inflect it into a
model name and use that!

Ok, just me throwing some ideas around :) Anyone else having good
thoughts on this issue?
Enjoy,
John
