Re: Get old record in beforeSave when updating (doing a $this->find() inside beforeSave callback)

Thanks MorFer, that is a simple solution, but it feels like meddling with Model. At the point of the find, the model is in the save cycle and I don't know what else a find() might change in it.

Btw, $this->data AND $this->id should be saved. The id should stay the same, but you never know.

This feels cleaner, but I'm wondering about the overhead:

            $Model = ClassRegistry::init('User');

            $query = [

                 'recursive' => 0, 

                 'conditions' => [$this->alias.'.'.$this->primaryKey => $this->data[$this->alias][$this->primaryKey]]

            ];

            $oldData = $Model->find('first', $query);

If you do that inside the User model - $this and $Model are exactly the same object.
