Re: Assign Profile When User Registers

You would use the afterSave behavior on your users controller.

I think your better off using a belongsTo relationship in the case of
a user profile though.

This way your profile table contains the foreign key instead of the
user's table.

Otherwise you have to do nasty things like, save the profile first,
get its ID, and then save it to the profile_id in the users table.
When instead you can save the user, get its newly created ID, and then
save the profile. With this method I know transactions are used with
the other route I'm sure you could but seems like it would be a pain.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
