# Aug 8th 2008, 16:57 TommyO teknoid: is that like giving it to a little cross-eyed do and shooing it through the door into your Model?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:57 zmonteca TommyO: when you say blank page, do you mean accessing that controller method direct vs. ajax?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:57 teknoid yoris: looking at that code you are not leveraging the framework in any way, it's like you took some php class and pugged into your model (?)
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:54 TommyO zmonteca: well, pr() will do a cleaenr print_r() and debug() will give you a little more info
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:54 zmonteca TommyO: cool. thanks. I was just accessing when i needed to debug, but that looks a lot better.
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:54 TommyO zmonteca: do you get a 200 with a blank page or a 404?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:54 teknoid yoris: secondly checking if a field exists or not is better done by using $validate array and isUnique rule
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:53 zmonteca TommyO: however, firebug tells me the request is '/admins/users/facilities_list'
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:53 TommyO zmonteca: you also never need to use the php globals, like $_POST. cake puts them in better places for you. try debug($this->params); instead
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:53 teknoid yoris: what you should really do, is transform the CSV data into array data that models would expect and save it that way
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:53 zmonteca TommyO: it's as thought that method isn't called.
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:52 zmonteca TommyO: correct. my sql isn't executed either.
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:52 yoris teknoid, if the csv contains a CountryCode (CC) that already is in the DB it skips it and goes to the AreaCode part of the csv record
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:52 TommyO I see though. you're saying the echo never happens?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 TommyO but if you did need it, the proper syntax would be $this->layout
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 TommyO you don't need it with RequestHandler
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 yoris teknoid, assos between them are ok, like this CountryCode->AreaCode->LocalCode
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 TommyO zmonteca: well, setting a variable to $layout won't do anything
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 zmonteca TommyO: that's insightful
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:51 Azhi_Dahaka_ not search, look up
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 yoris teknoid, they are working as they should be
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 Azhi_Dahaka_ i just don't see it with pr($this->params) in the controller...
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 yoris teknoid, three diff Models
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 yoris teknoid, each csv is a CountryCode, AreaCode, LocalCode
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 Azhi_Dahaka_ how can i search for the _method hidden field outputted by $form->create?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:50 yoris teknoid, csv input of Country, Area and Local Codes
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:49 teknoid yoris: what am i looking at?
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:49 zmonteca TommyO: i agree, it's a MESS
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:49 TommyO your controller is way too heavy imho
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:48 zmonteca TommyO: thanks...this is my first cake project...any insights are appreciated.
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:48 yoris teknoid, http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1193091440
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:48 TommyO zmonteca: but both of them smell of component or model anyway
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:47 TommyO zmonteca: I assume same with setAccountType
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:47 Howard`` Thanks teknoid
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:47 teknoid Howard``: 'group'=>'fieldname'
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:47 TommyO zmonteca: make getAccountType begin with a _ to protect it from the url
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:46 yoris thats my guess too
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:46 teknoid yoris: could you bin some code because i have a feeling you are doing something very simple, with an overly complex approach
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:46 zmonteca method is all the way at the bottom - admins_facilities_list - in controller.
# Aug 8th 2008, 16:45 teknoid TommyO: not as good as i expect, because i almost forgot ;)
