My login code is on the clients_controller and i need to store the data on a model called log (i have the model, controller, view… but they are not related)

Add this line in your Client Controller:

$var uses = array('Client', 'Log'); // all the model that is used 
                                  // by the client controller.

in cakephp 2.3

public $uses = array('Client', 'Log');

To create a log when someone logs in:

    $this->Log->create();
    $log = array('Log' => array(
      'username' => $username, 
      'datetime' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s') 
   )); 
   $this->Log->save($log);
