beatzombies: the easiest way to perform that in the controller is add if(empty($this->data)) { $this->data = load some data here ... } else { process submitted data } |

jaredhoyt: wait, so when i reference ContributorsItem as in $form->checkbox('ContributorsItem.contributed'); what does cakephp look at to get that value? |

jaredhoyt: thanks, ill definitely be back with more questions |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: alright, i see i need to think about this some more |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
jaredhoyt |
you're view variables are lost ;) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: when you hit submit, only form data is passed into the controller action |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
beatzombies |
i see |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: so when i submit i wouldnt be able to just do a save() because the submitted data to the controller would not be model information |
| # |

if you're setting db data into a view var, then you'd do something like <?php echo $form->checkbox('Model.fieldname', array('value' => $view_var['path_to_field']); ?> |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: well, save them as you would any other form data |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: and then manually set the values in the database when im updated those values? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: then you're going to have to manually set the checkbox value |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: is that the wrong way to do things? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
jaredhoyt |
if you just want to display data in text form, then do $this->set('some_var', $this->Model->find()) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: i am kind of making my own array of values from various models in my controller and setting that for my view to use |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: oh, i see |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
if you want form inputs to automatically load db data |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
or read() or whatever |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
$this->data = $this->Model->find() |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
it is if you set it in the controller |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:30 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: hmm, is there a $this->data varialbe defined in the view? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:28 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: let me try that |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:28 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: have you do a pr() of $this->data in your view to make sure the correct field is getting loaded w/ the correct value? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:27 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: i have a feeling i am going about things the wrong way |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:27 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: nope |

question about routing....when you Router::connect() something, does that actually map or redirect? It seems when i'm using that it's actually redirecting...simpley because my Session['Auth']['redirect'] is getting set with a url from Router::Connect() |

jaredhoyt |
how would you call any method in the controller? :) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:21 |
atula |
jaredhoyt: to call it in a controller's action, do I have to do $this->__myPrivateFunction or can I just call it __myPrivateFunction ? |

thank you jaredhoyt |

Aug 7th 2008, 13:20 |

to declare a function that's not an action do I do function __functionname() in the controller ? |
