Answer 1

In your model do something like this in your method ....

public function saveImage($type='')
{
 // I would add a test for $type
 $db = $this->getDataSource();
 $fields = array('type' => $db->value($type, 'string')); // $db->value() will format strings needed for updateAll()
 $condition = array('user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id'));

 // I would add a test for user id before running updateAll()

  $this->updateAll($fields, $conditions);

}
