Re: Exclude Array Item on Save
you can also use the $fieldList parameter in the $modelName->save http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/class_model.html#ebe42ae387be89985b5a35dd428f5c81 Model::save ( $ data = null, $ validate = true, $ fieldList = array() ) Saves model data to the database. By default, validation occurs before save. Parameters: array $data Data to save. boolean $validate If set, validation will be done before the save array $fieldList List of fields to allow to be written On Dec 1, 2007 3:23 PM, Chris Hartjes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Dec 1, 2007 4:54 PM, wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hiya, > > > > I've got a simple image upload form in which the user can come back > > and update the image, as well as name, description etc. > > > > The issue I'm having is that when they come back to only update the > > description, I don't want the original image to be overridden. > > > > So I first thought that I could just unset the array item.

Try putting the code that unsets that element in the array in a beforeSave() method in the model. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Exclude Array Item on Save
Hiya, I've got a simple image upload form in which the user can come back and update the image, as well as name, description etc. The issue I'm having is that when they come back to only update the description, I don't want the original image to be overridden. So I first thought that I could just unset the array item. For example: if (!$this->data['Home']['image']['name']) { unset($this->data['Home']['image']); } However, the Cake save() function still overrwrites the old image in the DB. How do you all accomplish this in your forms? Is there a CakePHP syntax to tell it to not update a field? I'm using the latest 1.2x from the SVN. Many thanks!
