Re: Difficulty understanding requestAction

Hi,

I remember having the same problem when playing with cake. If I am not
wrong you have to return the value explicitly in the requested action.

regards, dp

try adding array('return') to the call
$this->set('cities', $this->requestAction('Cities/getCities', array('return'));

Everything looks good here. However, I think the problem may be with
the fact that you're using the PagesController. I tried using
PagesController and it was strange because it's a part of the core of
CakePHP. Try doing the same thing in a different controller and see
what happens.

Also, try this variation on the action name in your contact() method:
$this->set('cities', $this->requestAction('Cities/getCities'));

Difficulty understanding requestAction

[joel]

Can somebody help me with requestAction()?  I'm trying to use it
exactly like it's used in the manual, but it's not working for me.  In
my PagesController, I want to generate a list of cities from my
CityController.  Here's what I'm doing:

// in PagesController
function contact() {
  $this->set('cities', $this->requestAction('/cities/getCities'));
}

// in CitiesController
function getCities() {
  return $this->City->generateList();
}

When I do this, nothing is returned.  The $cities variable is empty in
the /pages/contact.thtml view.  Got any ideas?
