When you "View" your data (see view baked action) the data from your
model is setted in a variable. For example, in PostsController, the
view action is similar to:
$post = $this->Post->read(null,$id)
$this->set('post',$post)
In the edit action, that data read from the DB is asigned to $this-
>data. Something like:
$this->data = $this->Post->read(null,$id)
$this->data is a special array that views and controller can use.
Becouse when you want to save your data to your database you do $this-
>Post->save($this->data). So, you should combine it. For example, set
the data in $this->data, and in your view, you can do something like
this:
view_edit.ctp
<span><?php echo $this->data['Post']['title']</span> <a href='#'
id='doMyMagicThing'>Edit this field</a>
// then, with some javascript (i use JQuery) magic you can do
something like this:
$("doMyMagicThing").click(function(e){
//here i'll transform the <span> tag in a <input> tag and allow
the guy to edit this
});
Hope it helps!
Best regards.
