Re: default.thml not rendering add, edit, view, or index
I was able to figure out what was wrong with my default.thtml be
looking at an older project of mine. I left the $content_for_layout
out of the file.
check('Message.flash'))
$session->flash();
echo $content_for_layout;
?>
If someone can followup with a link to the manual, a tutorial, or an
example of a well done default.thtml, it might be helpful for future
newbies using CakePHP.
Thank you for this great Forum.

default.thml not rendering add, edit, view, or index
Without a default.thml, cakePHP renders the view, index, add, edit screens. When I add a default.thml file, the Query information displays, but the view, index, add, and edit screens do not. My default page is a header with menus and a search box. It contains its own css, a form, and javascript.All tags are all appropriately closed. I've also noticed that a blank default.thtml prevents the view, index, add, and edit screens from rendering. I'm using cake_1.1.16.5421.

Re: Passing non-model variables from controller to view to setting and retreiving HTML form tags
Grant,
Thanks for the tip.I must be doing something subtly wrong with
your suggestion. I set the $this->data['Display']['currency'] in my
index controller method. When adding the echo $html-
>checkbox( 'Display/currency' ); I get "Cannot instantiate non-
existent class: display ".Initially my index view did not contain
a form. I added the following form, but I still get the "non-
existent class: display" notification
I've get the currency toggle working, but my method appears to be a
bit cumbersome.
1. Place a Ajax observer field on a standard HTML checkbox
echo $ajax->observeField('currency', array(
'update' => 'proposalCurrency',
'url' => '/proposals/ajaxCurrency',
'frequency' => '1'))
>
2. Move the table containing the Price column which will be either EUR
or USD into a separate table.thtml file
this table is embedded with the
3. In the index method of the proposal controller set the "currency"
variable
$this->set('currency', $whichCurrency); //
whichCurrency will be either the string "EUR" or "USD"
4. In the proposal controller ajaxController, the currency from the
form is retrieved with the $this->params['form']['currency']
if (isset($this->params['form']['currency']) &&
strcmp ($this->params['form']['currency'],"EUR") == 0)
$whichCurrency = "EUR";
else
{
$whichCurrency = $this->Session->read
("Proposal.whichCurrency");
$whichCurrency = (strcmp($whichCurrency, "USD") == 0) ?
"EUD" : "USD";
}
5. Session variables were used to maintain the users currency
selection preference.
My solution does work, but it does not seem to be efficient or
elegant. Any suggestions on why I can't use ['Display']['currency']
in the view with the $html->checkbox helper would be appreciated.

Passing non-model variables from controller to view to setting and retreiving HTML form tags
Hello I am new to Cake and MVC, so please excuse my terminology. What is the easiest way to pass non-model variables back and forth from the view and the controller for setting and retrieving HTML control values, such as the checkbox? I need to add a currency checkbox to the index view which will determine whether a price column is displayed in Euro's or U.S. Dollars. The checkbox method of the html helper class appears to be model specific. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
