it is not a good idea to do those things in the model/controller a) what if you don't need most of the modified fields in the end? b) what if you somehow need to know in the view which field was empty in the first place
simply do that in the view templates with if (!empty) etc on "demand" that is faster and cleaner but if you really need to be going down that road (i wouldnt) you can write a behavior which populates the data and adds fields: field1 field2 # now additionally: field1_view field2_view this way you keep the original field value if needed On 8 Aug., 21:12, Sam Sherlock <sam.sherl...@gmail.com> wrote: > in cake 1.3 you can alter $this->data in the beforeFilter of the controller > > in 2.0 $this->data is read only. > > writing a cake behaviour for the model may be what your looking for > > - S > > On 8 August 2011 19:48, Johkke <gybels.j...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Is it possible to replace empty fields with an given string (like: 'No > > subject given') at model or controller level?
