Hi i'm new in cakephp
I'm starting to do an application and i'm wondering if i can save in
different models from one form.
For more specific:
I have three models
TuristSite: Has One Contact
Contact: Belongs To a TuristSite, Has Many Telephones
Telephone: Belongs To a Contact
I want to put all the information for this three models in one form in
the action turist_sites/add
In the add.ctp of turist_sites
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.name');
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.logo',
array('type'=>'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.website');
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.address');
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.description');
echo $this->Form->hidden('TuristSite.votes',
array('value'=>'0'));
echo $this->Form->hidden('TuristSite.views',
array('value'=>'0'));
echo $this->Form->input('TuristSite.User');
echo $this->Form->input('Contact.name');
echo $this->Form->input('Contact.last_name');
echo $this->Form->input('Contact.email');
echo $this->Form->hidden('Contact.turist_site_id');
echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.0.number);
echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.0.contact_id);
echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.1.number);
echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.1.contact_id);
echo $this->Form->input('Thelephone.2.number);
echo $this->Form->hidden('Thelephone.2.contact_id);
And this i have controller's add action
$turistSiteData = $this->data['TuristSite'];
$contactData = $this->data['Contact'];
if ($this->TuristSite->save($turistSiteData) {
if ($this->TuristSite->Contact-
>addContactTuristSite($this->TuristSite->id, $contactData)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
turist site has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' =>
'index'));
}
else {
$this->TuristSite->delete($this-
>TuristSite->id, false);
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
contact of the turist site could not be saved. Please, try again.',
true));
}
}
And i have a function in the Contact Model
function addContactTuristSite($id = null, $data = null) {
if ($id == null && data == null){
return false;
}
else{
$data['Contact']['turist_site_id'] = $id;
return $this->save($data);
}
}
When i run this, just save the information for the TuristSite and
insert a row in the Contacts table but just with the id and the
turist_site_id.
I don't know if you understand my problem. And if this the best way to
do this. Any answer will be apreciate.
