About

TODO
----

[](#todo)

```
public function setCategory()
{
    $post = Yii::$app->request->post('Blog');
    if (!$this->isNewRecord) {
        Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->update('{{%blogs_to_category}}', ['category_id' => $post['category'], 'blog_id' => $this->id], ['blog_id' => $this->id])->execute();
        return true;
    }
}

```

The temporary decision. I shall be grateful for improvement.

```
public function afterSave($insert, $changedAttributes)
{
    parent::afterSave($insert, $changedAttributes);

    if (!$this->category) {
        $post = Yii::$app->request->post('Blog');
        Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->insert('{{%blogs_to_category}}', ['category_id' => $post['category'], 'blog_id' => $this->id], ['blog_id' => $this->id])->execute();
