Re: Accessing other model not working

Yeah that doesn't work either.

As far as I can tell, my associations work.

Part model:
var $belongsTo = array('price'=>array('classname' => 'Price',
'foreignKey' => 'prime_price_id') );
var $hasMany = array('Price' => array( 'className' => 'Price'));

A part will have a lot of prices.
Part has a field for a price ID (which defines the default price)

I already have the ability to add/edit a price to a part. If someone
fills out the price form and submits it, it works fine, but if they
check the "prime" box, I want to get the ID of the newly added/updated
price and update the Part's prime_price_id field for the part. But I
have to handle this from the price controller, not the part controller

Am I overthinking this? I can think of 100 hackish ways to do this,
but I assumed there would be a correct/ cakish way to do this. At
this point it would be worth my money to pay a cake expert to help
me...anyone looking for some beer money?
