Re: Pulling data to the home page

[dmancan]

I tried using the requestaction method, but could only get back empty
sets.

If I do this...I get my dataset:

var $uses = array('user');

function index() {
$mdlUser = new User();
$this-set('data', $mdlUser-getUserList());
}

If I do this, I get an empty dataset:


function index()
{
$this-set('users',
$this-requestAction('/users/getUserList'));
}


I'd prefer to use the request action for ajax reasons.

 You could just put

 echo $this-requestAction (/users/getUserList,array(return=true));


I'm sorry. I tried this method and got a full page loading into another
full page.

AD7six:

I used the method as described in the manual:
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/controllers

function index()
{
$this-set('users',
$this-requestAction('/users/getUserList'));
}

My userscontroller has the getUserList function, and my user model has
the getUserList call that is a findAll().

Like I said, it works with the aforementioned way of using the model
directly, but when I try to use the requestAction it doesn't work. The
manual seems wrong or am I missing something?

Pulling data to the home page

[dmancan]

Hi

I'm currently testing cakePHP to decide if our company should switch
over. I have a quick question which I'm sure is a snap for you gurus to
answer.

I want my homepage to draw a collection of  requests from various
database tableseach dataset will populate various elements on the
homepage. The homepage has no db table.

If I use the pagecontroller I only get static content from the static
home.thtml template. If I create a new controller and set the routing
to use a new controller and view, I have to create a model and database
table, but I don't need a homepage table.

I'm definately missing something here..

How do I get data to the homepage without having a model and matching
table?

Thanks.
