Barricades,
You don't really say WHERE the process seems to break down. The find
after the save seems suspicious to me. Is that returning the proper
slug to pass along to your view function? It looks like $slug will end
up holding the returned data array rather than the returned string
from the slug field (see below for more info)
You might take advantage of the fact that the id property of the model
is set to the id of the record that was created by save. So you should
be able to set your slug value properly after:
$this->Campaign->findById($this->Campaign-
>id,,array('fields'=>'slug'));
But you should also be aware that this will not return the slug field
directly. It's going to be in the usual data array:
Array
(
[Campaign] => Array
(
[slug] => My_crazy_slug
)
)
Regards,
Don
