Re: Make database calls inside of component
I get it now!! Using 'products_id' will not work with Cake. You have to use 'id' as your field name. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Make database calls inside of component
Hi,
I am not having succes getting my component to update a record.
Insert works with this code if I don't pass a $product_id. How do I
force an update?
class CostsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'costs';
var $components=array("Findcost");
function index()
{
$col=array();
$col['products_id']=1;
$this->Findcost->calculate('Cost', $col); }
} //end of index
class FindcostComponent
{
var $controller; //gives access to controller
function startup(& $controller) //gives access to controller
{
$this->controller =&$controller;
} //startup
function calculate( $mymodel, $othercols=null )
{
//do some calculations
$myarray=array();
$myarray['itemcost']=100;
//merge product_id from othercols wth myarray to do the update
if( isset( $othercols ) )
$result = array_merge($myarray, $othercols);
else $result=$myarray;
//I want to update the table here
$this->controller->$mymodel->save($result);
}//calculate
} //end of component

Re: Make database calls inside of component
Thank you both for your assistance. Last night I was just trying to mock up what I could do. The reason why I want to work solely in my component is for reuse. I want to be able to use this component in more than 1 controller, but the controllers will use this component in different ways. I will get started now.

Re: Make database calls inside of component
perhaps your cost calculation should be in the products model. it's not taboo to put custom methods into the model, as long as it is very closely related to the model data. if you absolutely have to call it from the controller then give your component a controller param, and in the calling controller do this $this->Findcost->controller = $this; then you have a reference back to the controller from in the component then when you call the method from the controller $this->Findcost->calculate your component can access the model $this->controller->MyModel->findAll() it can be done, and that's how you do it. but for the circumstance you give an example too, this is definitely the wrong way to do it it should either be controller method, which in this case seems best, or in other circumstances a model method --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Make database calls inside of component
Hi Bill,
First a double check: Is the component Findcost only related to the
controller Costs? If so it might be easier to manage and cleaner code
to write the functionality into a method on the Costs controller.
If it is used by more than one controller then I think will do what you
want:
class CostsController extends AppController
{
var $components = array('FindCost');
function index()
{
$this->FindCost->calculate( ???);
}
// Rest of code
class FindcostComponent
{
var $model;
var $myarray = array();
function startup($controller) {
$this-> model = new NameOfModel; // Not sure if there's a way
to tie this in automagially
}
function calculate( ??? )
{
$this->myarray[$itemcost]=100;
$this->model->save($this->myarr);
}
Cheers,

Make database calls inside of component
Is there a way to access the Model, to make Database calls inside of a
component?
class CostsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Costs';
var $components=array("Findcost");
function index()
{
//Do i send a reference to model this way?
$this->Component->calculate( ???);
}
}
class FindcostComponent
{
var $model;
var $myarray = array();
//Or is there a way to retrieve the model reference here
//like you do
// with the startup function
//to access the controller?
function calculate( ??? )
{
//do some calculations
$this->myarray[$itemcost]=100;
//I want to save to table here
$this->model->save($this->myarr);
}
Thanks for your help,
Bill
