I am having the same problem and can't seem to find anyone else
complaining about it. I've spent a bit of time looking into it.
Cake parses the $_POST data array expecting it to contain:
{"data" => {"field1" => "some_text", "field2" => "some_text"}}.
The "data" array is copied into $this->data for your controller to
use.
To make this work, $html->input tends to create input elements with
the name attribute:
name="data[ModelName][FieldName]"
So you do end up with a correctly formed $_POST array.
The scriptaculous in place editor is a bit dodgy in that you can't
control the name attribute of the edit element it creates. It ALWAYS
creates one with the name "value". So your post data array $_POST will
contain {"value" => "some_text"}. Thus, when cake tries to find a
field in your array named data (containing a data array) it can't.
This causes the problem where are seeing where $this->data is always
empty.
As far as I can tell, the Ajax Helper in Cake is broken because of the
way Scriptaculous is designed. I'm thinking I might post this on the
Cake site as a bug and see what happens. But, I've got stuff to get
done, so I'll probably just hack Scriptaculous and the Ajax helper.
Of course, you could always just read $_POST['value'], but this seems
like a hack to me. It seems like it would be better design to have the
HTML and AJAX helpers exhibit the same behaviour.
