exo_duz,
I have something similar that may be useful to you,
its not the best way to do it but it gets the job done.
First, you need prototype and scriptaculous on your webroot/js/ folder
on your Controller:
class EventsController extends AppController {
var $name='Events';
var $uses=array('Event', 'EventDetails');
function add() {
$totalEventDetails = 1; // unless i have already posted some
content...
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Event->set($this->data['Event']);
if ($this->Event->validates()) {
// data for Event model has been validated
$error_in_details = false;
foreach ($this->data['EventDetails'] as
$key=>$detail) {
$this->Event->EventDetail->set($detail['EventDetail']);
if
(!$this->Event->EventDetail->validates()) {
$error_in_details = true;
$error_in_detail[$key] = true;
} else {
$error_in_detail[$key] = false;
}
}
// if there are no errors, save Event and
EventDetails
if (!$error_in_details) {
// set user id
$this->Event->create();
$this->Event->save($this->data['Event'], false);
foreach ($this->data['EventDetails'] as
$key=>$detail) {
$detail['EventDetail']['event_id'] = $this->Event->id;
$this->Event->EventDetail->create();
$this->Event->EventDetail->save($detail, false);
}
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Event
and EventDetails have been
saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
EventDetail could not be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Event could
not be saved. Please,
try again.', true));
}
$totalEventDetails = count($this->data['EventDetails']);
}
$this->set('totalEventDetails',$totalEventDetails);
}
function ajaxAddDetail($total_details) {
$details = $this->data['EventDetails'];
$this->set(compact('details'));
$this->set('totalEventDetails',$total_details+1);
$this->render('add','ajax');
}
}
on your View:
<?php echo $javascript->link('prototype'); ?>
<?php echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous'); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __('Add Event');?></legend>
<!-- your form fields here -->
<a href="/events/ajaxAddDetail/<?php echo $totalEventDetails; ?>"
id="ajax_add_detail_updater" onclick=" event.returnValue = false;
return false;">click to add details field</a>
<?php echo $ajax->div('ajax_detail_updater', array
('class'=>'last')); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Event.observe( 'ajax_add_detail_updater',
'click',
function(event) {
new
Ajax.Updater('ajax_detail_updater'
,'/events/ajaxAddDetail/<?php echo $totalEventDetails; ?
>',
{
asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true,
parameters: Form.serialize($('EventAddForm')),
requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'ajax_detail_updater']})
},
false
);
//]]>
</script>
<?php echo $form->text('EventDetails.'.
$c.'.EventDetail.description',array('id'=>'detail_'.$c,'value'=>@
$details[$c]['description'])); ?>
<?php echo $ajax->divEnd('ajax_detail_updater'); ?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $form->end(array('label'=>__
('Submit',true),'class'=>'submit button'));?>
This code may contain errors, I copied it and modified it from a
working example but I didn't test it myself, I hope it helps
