Hi,
Thank you for all the responses. I must admit that I never realised
that what I was getting was not the last value but the number of
elements in the array. Anyway, in the course of my experimentation, I
did make some half hearted attempts with '$c->stash->{myoptions} =
[EMAIL PROTECTED];' yesterday, but instead of the options, I was getting a
list of 'myleave::Model::myleavedb::txn_mdl=HASH(some_number) in the
tt2 template. When I tried again today after your replies, I got the
same result. Here is my code:
sub cancel : Local {
my ($self,$c) = @_;
my @options = $c->model('myleavedb::txn_mdl')->search({emp_no =>
$c->user->emp_no},{columns => [qw/lv_id/]});
$c->stash->{myoptions} = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$c->stash->{template} = 'leavedata/cancel2_frm.tt2';
}
Then I added a foreach loop as under and I got the expected results in
the tt2 template. I also had to declare @new_options at the top.
sub cancel : Local {
my ($self,$c,@new_options) = @_;
my @options = $c->model('myleavedb::txn_mdl')->search({emp_no =>
$c->user->emp_no},{columns => [qw/lv_id/]});
foreach my $option(@options) {
push (@new_options,$option->lv_id)
}
$c->stash->{myoptions} = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$c->stash->{template} = 'leavedata/cancel2_frm.tt2';
}
I don't understand in what way @options and @new_options are different
from each other, but in a bumbling manner I have made the code work.
What is the preferred way of writing this bit of code?
