I have employee application where users standing can be resigned, active, new and transferred. What i would like to achieve is that when the standing of an employee is changed/edited from active (standing_id = 1) it should be able to send through an email but its not. I have put a email function in the EmployeeController. Below is my code.
function _sendNewEmployeeEditMail($id) { $Employee = $this->Employee->read(null,$id); $email = new CakeEmail(); $email->from(array('no-re...@test.com' => 'Testing App')); $email->to(array('xxx...@gmail.com' => 'Name Surname')); $email->subject('New Employee'); $email->template('employee_email'); $email->viewVars(compact('Employee')); $email->emailFormat('html'); $_sendNewEmployeeEditMail = true; $current_status = $this->Employee->field('standing_id'); if($current_status==1) { $_sendNewEmployeeEditMail = false; } } and in my edit save function here is how i am trying to send the email public function edit($id = null) { $this->Employee->id = $id; if (!$this->Employee->exists()) { throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid employee')); } if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) { if ($this->Employee->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The employee has been saved'),'default',array('class' => 'notification')); $this->_sendNewEmployeeEditMail($this->Employee->getLastInsertID() ); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The employee could not be saved. Please, try again.'),'default',array('class' => 'error')); } } else { $this->request->data = $this->Employee->read(null, $id); } $standings = $this->Employee->Standing->find('list'); $this->set(compact('standings')); If anyone could help me out on this, that would be awesome -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
