Re: How can I get the ID of a Post as its saved for the first time?

If I'm not mistaken the id of the latest saved record is $this->model->id   

"Value of the primary key ID of the record that this model is currently pointing to. Automatically set after database insertions."

http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model  

There's also the two functions getInsertID ( http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model#method-ModelgetInsertID ) and getLastInsertID ( http://api20.cakephp.org/class/model#method-ModelgetLastInsertID ) though I cannot tell you the difference between those two.

Hope that helps :)

Is it possible within a Add() function to find the ID of a post just as its written to the DB?

Basically I'm trying to create a ACO for the post when its saved by doing something like this:

$aco = $this->Acl->Aco->create(Array('model'=>Post, foreign_key=>'XXXX'));

Where XXXX is the ID of the post that's just been saved within the same function.

Thanks in advance
