One to many relationship fails to function well.

[shegunbabs]

Following the model examples in the Laravel docs
I had this Model-Validation method implemented in my app and inserting related models failed to work.

$posts = new Posts(array('title'=>'My post title','body'=>'the body'));
Author::find(1)->posts()->save($posts);

The snippet above doesn't create a valid row in the database, rather it creates a record for the foreign key (author.author_id) in the post table and all other fields are empty.

I had to extend Eloquent directly from my model to get the appropriate result.

I hope someone can confirm this.
