Re: requestAction, modularity and multiple forms in one view
I have a variety of forms in a cms I am developing on one page. I use a hidden form field ( I.E. If I was adding an image I would use a $form->input( "Image.AddImage", array( "type"=>"hidden", "value"=>"1")); ) Then my controller ( typically an action named "manage" checks to see if $this->data['Image']['AddImage'] is set to 1 / true and then process the form as usual with if( $this->Image->save( $this->data ) ) ... Works fine for me. The form will re-render the "manage" view with the errors for the model as expected. Is what you need somehow more complicated? willi-3 wrote: > > > Push :-) > > > > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/requestAction%2C-modularity-and-multiple-forms-in-one-view-tf3797544.html#a11318680 Sent from the CakePHP mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Not tested, but look for the 'model' option in $form->create().
Something like this might work:
1. controller/action:
$this->Model1->save($this->data);
$this->Model2->save($this->data);
2. action.ctp:
$form->create(array('model'=>'Model1')) //it should create form
inputs with ['Model1'] key
blah
$form->end()
$form->create(array('model'=>'Model2'))
blah
$form->end()

requestAction, modularity and multiple forms in one view
Hi there!
I'am very impressed about the huge capabilities of CakePHP and about
to create a bigger application after playing around and figuring out,
how things go.
Now I'am a little confused, how to create things like multiple forms
(with a dedicated model) in one view.
I have two controllers: categories and images, with coresponding
models and views, each controller with index/list/add/edit/delete
functions.
I want to have a view, that displays the categories/add form, the
images/list table and the images/add form on one page. I did this,
using the requestAction method in the images/index view like this:
requestAction("/categories/
add",array("return"=>true)); ?>
requestAction("/images/add",array("return"=>true)); ?
>
(The images/list ist called by the images/index method)
No problem so far.
But now i want to do some validations and the error messages,
depending on which form was submitted, should be displayed in the same
view - no dedicated errorpage - everything in only this one view or
one page if you want.
I did something like this for the categories and images controller:
function add() {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->cleanUpFields();
$this->Category->create();
if($this->Category->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Success!');
$this->redirect('../images/index');
exit();
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Error!');
$this->render('../images/index');
}
}
}
But I get no error messages and the forms were not populated.
When I use $this->render();
instead, I get errormessages, the form will be populated, but I only
get the add-view - shure ...
To cut a long story short: How do I handle the output of multiple
forms in one view in an elegant way!?
Thank you in advance!
Willi
