Re: How to set the incoming $id to be the last post entered
Well that's exactly what I thought (and had actually tried) but when I
added that I got an error message appearing at the top of my view if I
visit the URL without an id...
Then it struck me that $id = $this->Post->find('first', array('order'
=> array('Post.id DESC'))); is returning an array not just the id!
I changed my 'if' to be...
if (empty($id)) {
$latestid = $this->Post->find('first', array('order' =>
array('Post.id DESC')));
$id = $latestid['Post']['id'];
}
...and now it works.
Cheers for the help

Re: How to set the incoming $id to be the last post entered
I would think to just put it in an "if" construct and execute the statement
if the expression evaluates to true, no?
function mypage($id = null) {
if (empty($id)){
$id = $this->Post->find('first', array('order' => array('Post.id
DESC')));
}
$this->Post->recursive = 0;
$this->set('posts', $this->paginate());
$this->set('mainpost', $this->Post->read(null, $id));
}

How to set the incoming $id to be the last post entered
Hi
I'm on CakePHP 1.3
I have an action in my posts_controller.php that gets a list of latest posts
and the data for a particular post if the $id is set...
function mypage($id = null) {
$this->Post->recursive = 0;
$this->set('posts', $this->paginate());
$this->set('mainpost', $this->Post->read(null, $id));
}
I then use this to display a column or recent posts and the main post if an $id
is supplied.
What I would like to do is set the incoming $id to be the last post entered if
a specific $id isn't already set in the URL. ie: run this code if $id is null...
$id = $this->Post->find('first', array('order' => array('Post.id
DESC')));
But I'm not sure how to combine these two bits of code together in one
function. Assuming that 's the right way to go about what I'm trying to achieve?
