Re: Putting a label on same line as an input field
Well I finally cracked this myself - it is due to the infamous IE6
float margin bug
What I do is:
CSS:
label {
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 1px;
}
.idbox {
float: left;
background:#ffc;
}
Cake Code:
echo $form->input('idcode', array('label'=>
$lb,'type'=>'text','length'=>2,'maxlength'=>2, 'div'=>'idbox') );
The only caveat is that all the field labels are on the left (which is
fine...) and it's a) simple and b) works in all browsers I tested
today
(Safari, FF3 (Ubuntu, XP), Konqueror (Ubuntu) and IE6, IE8 (XP)

Re: Putting a label on same line as an input field
Well I finally gave up and put all the labels on left hand side of the
imput fields - i made a little class called xg with a background in
order to emphasize the field in question works nicely in Firefox
and Konqueror
label { float: left;
width: 150px;
display: block;
clear: none;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-right: 0px;}
.xg {
display: block;
background:#ffc;
float:left;
}
You can override the wrapping div in the $form->input like this:
echo $form->input('idcode', array('label'=>
$lb,'type'=>'text','length'=>2,'maxlength'=>2,'div'=>'xg') );
BUT
it doesn't work in IE6
:-(

Re: Putting a label on same line as an input field
Dardo
Thanks - I already tried this direction and it doesn't affect the
location of the label - it still appears above the input box.
I can change label placement for all the forms but in this case I only
want to change one particular field label
In the view:
echo $form->input('idcode', array('label'=>'Patient ID
Code','type'=>'text','length'=>2,'maxlength'=>2, 'div' =>array('id' =>
'left-label')) );
and this is what I have in the css
left-label { float: left; width: 100px; display: block; }
label {
display: block;
font-size: 110%;
padding-right: 20px;
}
input, textarea {
clear: both;
font-size: 140%;
font-family: "frutiger linotype", "lucida grande", "verdana", sans-
serif;
padding: 2px;

Putting a label on same line as an input field
This is sort of a classic css question but I have not been able to position an label on the left side of an input field - it always slides to the top.

Re: Suspected bug in controller method routing
Doh. Not exactly a bug but not exactly intuitive behavior either. I think that the correct behavior in the MVC model is for a controller function X to map to view X - both in invocation and on return. I would not have assumed that the view needs to explicitly specify return of control to the controller function that invoked the view in the first place. That behavior is a bit inconsistent I think.

Suspected bug in controller method routing
I have a controller with the usual CRUD functions and I added an additional function called fu (followup) The fu function has it's own fu.ctp view and after the user enters data in the form, it saves the data to the database using a save method The only problem is that cake always returns control after the form submit to the edit function, not the fu function. This is bolloxing up the application to say the least. I guess that this is some kind of automagic stuff but I have not been able to figure out how to ensure that control after save will not be automagically passed to an edit function Be happy to get an explanation how to fix this issue Danny --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Redirect after an edit operation in a paginated view
This doesn't work
I have an edit method and a fu method - both do database saves. BUT
the cake automagic stuff always sends the user back to the edit method
after fu save operation - this looks like a bug

Re: Redirect after an edit operation in a paginated view
Doesn't work - I have diagnosed the problem
There are two methods in the controller that perform an update - edit
and fu (followup) the fu controller has its own fu.ctp view and edit
has edit.ctp BUT whenever the user submits the fu.ctp form - the
control is passed to the EDIT method not to the originally calling
method
This looks like a bug to me

Re: Redirect after an edit operation in a paginated view
That didn't work - even though it seems like it should - I still
suspect CakePHP magic/debug level is breaking behavior
of the controller.Danny

Redirect after an edit operation in a paginated view
This would seem to be a trivial task. I have a list of paginated
rows. I want to be able to click on an edit operation on a
particular page > 1 and return to the same page. I save the referer
on entry to the function and redirect to the saved referer after the
database save operation - but the controller always returns to the
controller index method no matter what the user chooses.
I'm running in production mode - perhaps this is related to debug=0?
Here is the code:
function fu($id = null) {
$refer = Controller::referer();// save the calling
page
if (!$id && empty($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid Contact',
true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
echo $refer;
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->Contact->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
Contact has been saved', true));
// $this->redirect(array
('action'=>'index'));
$this->redirect($refer); // redirect
back to the calling page after save
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
Contact could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
}
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Contact->read(null, $id);
}
$this->set('contact', $this->Contact->read(null,
$id));
Looks like something really stupid is breaking this but I cant figure
out what
