I googled this a lot but nothing seems to be similar to what i am
looking for..
What i am trying to do is to link one record "User" with other
multiple records "Cards" at once using a multiple HTML <select> list.
Tables are:
users (id, name, username)
cards (id, user_id)
Models:
class User extends AppModel {
public $name = 'User';
public $hasMany = array('Card');}
class Card extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Card';
public $belongsTo = array('User');}
User edit.ctp view
echo $this->Form->input('id');
echo $this->Form->input('Card', array('multiple'=>true));
How my controller gonna look like? currently it looks like this but
saves nothing but the User record "without the related cards"
if (!empty($this->data)) {
foreach($this->data['User']['Card'] as $key => $item){
$this->data['User']['Card'][$key] =
array('id'=>$item, 'user_id'=>$this->data['User']['id']);
}
if ($this->User->saveAll($this->data)) {
//$this->User->Card->saveAll($this-
>data);
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been
saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not
be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->User->read(null, $id);
$this->set('cards', $this->User->Card-
>find('list'));
}
$this->data contains:
Array
(
[User] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Superman
[status] => 1
[Card] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 11402130001
[user_id] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 11402130002
[user_id] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 11402130003
[user_id] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 11402130004
[user_id] => 1
)
)
)
)
Thanks
