Callback question

[Mike]

I'm using callbacks in developing user authentication capabilities in
my application and had a question about the various callback methods.
What is the difference between beforeSave() and beforeUpdate()? I
expected one to fire with a method call to save() and the other to
fire will a method call to updateXXX() methods. However, even though
I was calling an update method, the beforeSave() callback was
executing. When I read the wiki, the implication is that an update
callback would only execute when an update method is called. What am
I missing?

Thanks,

Mike

beforeUpdate is called before an existing record is updated.

beforeCreate is called before a new record is created.

beforeSave is always called (regardless of whether it's a new record or an existing one).

Makes sense?

Yep. Good thing I recoded to work with beforeCreate() then!
