i'm REALLY sorry for the delay getting back to you. And unfortunately, i'm
still not there. It's CLOSE though:
i did exactly as you suggested in your last post. Set up my Entities &
Tables just as you described. Set up the controller to manually set the
_joinData "dirty" and called the save.
i get the ListingsAttributes record now! But no value from the text input
(_joinData.value).
The POST data is correct:
Array
(
[attributes] => Array
(
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[_joinData] => Array
(
[value] => Off-street
)
)
)
)
That's exactly what i've been getting since i change to use _joinData...
Here's the Entity after merging & setting _joinData dirty:
Array
(
[attributes] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
)
)
)
As before, the "value" input got lost. However, there is FINALLY an
Attributes array in the Listing entity with the correct Attributes.id. The
result is, i get a ListingsAttributes record with the Listings.id and
Attributes.id, but nothing in the *value* column.
This is making me crazy & i'm on the edge of scrapping this thing &
starting over with something else. i never expected this much difficulty
getting some basic data relationships to work after following documentation
exactly (and then having to make *undocumented* changes that still only get
me part-way there. i don't think i'm doing anything radical or
unconventional with my form, so i don't understand the difficulty of making
the ORM function as advertised.
i'm frustrated, obviously. It's taken me this long to come back to follow
up because it becomes harder & harder to come back & try again. i'm almost
there, i just don't know why the *value* input won't go into the Entity
data with everything else.
If you're moving on, i totally understand. But if you'd like to look at the
code directly, let me know. i'll have to put a version online without
sensitive info in it...
Thanks for at least getting me this far. :)
