function admin_add() { if(empty($this->data)) { $this->render(); } else { $this->cleanUpFields(); if($this->Category->save($this->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('The Category has been saved'); $this->redirect('/admin/categories/index'); } else { $this->Session->setFlash('Please correct errors below.'); } } } VIEW <h2>New Category</h2> <form action="<?php echo $html->url('/admin/categories/add'); ?>" method="post"> <?php echo $html->hidden('Category/id')?> <div class="optional"> <?php echo $form->labelTag('Category/active', 'Active');?> <?php echo $html->input('Category/active', array('size' => '60'));?> <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/active', 'Please enter the Active.');?> </div> <div class="required"> <?php echo $form->labelTag('Category/name', 'Name');?> <?php echo $html->input('Category/name', array('size' => '60'));?> <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/name', 'Please enter the Name.');?> </div> <div class="required"> <?php echo $form->labelTag( 'Category/description', 'Description' );? > <?php echo $html->textarea('Category/description', array('cols' => '60', 'rows' => '10'));?> <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/description', 'Please enter the Description.');?> </div> <div class="optional"> <?php echo $form->labelTag('Category/img', 'Img');?> <?php echo $html->input('Category/img', array('size' => '60'));?> <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/img', 'Please enter the Img.');?> </div> <div class="optional"> <?php echo $form->labelTag('Category/parentid', 'Parentid');?> <?php echo $html->input('Category/parentid', array('size' => '60'));? > <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/parentid', 'Please enter the Parentid.');?> </div> <div class="optional"> <?php echo $form->labelTag('Category/sort_order', 'Sort Order');?> <?php echo $html->input('Category/sort_order', array('size' => '60'));?> <?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('Category/sort_order', 'Please enter the Sort Order.');?> </div> <div class="submit"> <?php echo $html->submit('Add');?> </div> </form> <ul class="actions"> <li><?php echo $html->link('List Categories', '/admin/categories/ index')?></li> </ul> I have my model set up in a way that allows parentid's (nested categories). I have the link set up when i click to add a subcategory, the id is being passed, but i'm not sure how to populate properly in the value area of Category/parentid. I tried using a 'value' => '. $data['category']['id']' but that did not work. how do i get that add function to pass that id to the view? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
