How to create a custom callback function in cakephp after saveAll()

Question

I am developing an application in cakephp. In this application I am using saveAll() function at many different places to save multiple records. What is need is to create a callback function which automatically gets called after saveAll() is executed, as I think there is no predefined callback function in cakephp which gets called after saveAll(). I know there is a function afterSave(), which gets called after every save() action. What can be the solution. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thank you :)

I think afertSave() http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/es/view/1053/afterSave function is your best chance. — Lobo, Apr 09 '12 at 07:57
but the problem is that afterSave() gets called after every single row is saved. So cant use it. — Vineet, Apr 09 '12 at 08:04

public function saveAll($data, $options) {
    $return = parent::saveAll($data, $options);

    // your callback code here

    return $return;
}

You can redefine the saveAll function in your model as follows:

function saveAll($datos=null, $opciones = array()){
    parent::saveAll($datos, $opciones);
    $this->yourCallBackFunction();
}

function yourCallBackFunction(){
    //do something
}
