1. Create a button that will appear on all pages in the application at a particular location using CSS, and that does as follows.
If you want your button to appear on all pages at the same place, then the easiest is to put the button as part of your layout. Your default layout goes in app/views/layout/default.thtml -- see this part of the manual to lear more about views and about layouts : http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/views Once you've done this successfully, you might want to reconsider refactoring your button into an element -- but get it all running first !
2. Read 2 fields CHOICE and FIND. a. The top one, CHOICE, is a drop-down list with the same 16 choices each time. Function ddlits() returns the list of 16 literal values that are displayed. b. The bottom one FIND is a text field with no default, so it is blank initially. 3. By special rules used only here, we translate (2) into a list of (Query#,SQL Query) pairs. Function qrz($choice,$find) = list of ($qnm,$sqry) pairs of Query# and Query. 4. Execute (3) and accumulate the results into []=(Query#,Tuple). That is, we have a function runsql($sqry) = list of tuples returned by query $sqry. 5. Translate (Query#,Tuple) => (Display,URL) by function qtdis($qnm,$tuple)=($display,$url) to create a list of links to display. 6. Display the (Display,URL) pairs as links.
I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve - is this some sort of search functionality ? Have a look at this thread : http://groups-beta.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/671fe307f99c80c0/b447beb8fc71fe24?lnk=gst&q=search+form&rnum=1#b447beb8fc71fe24 it might help !
Can someone tell me how to implement this in CakePHP? Please be explicit: I have to write what and store it where and do what to get the button to appear on the existing pages?
Great place to start is the manual ! http://manual.cakephp.org/ Try and implement the 'blog' example - you will have a better understanding as to what goes where after that.
