Hi,
thanks you for your feedback!
I have tried to change my code according to your suggestions but hit a wall
just at the first step:
I now changed the page template index.ctp:
$options = array( 2 => 'two', 4 => 'four');
echo $this->Form->create('Posts', array('url' => $this->here));
echo ' Show '.$this->Form->select('recordlimit', $options,
array('value'=>2, 'empty' => FALSE, 'onChange'=>'this.form.submit();')).'
records per page.';
echo $this->Form->end();
But I get a "missing controller" error: *Error: * *CakephpController* could
not be found.
The initial URL reads: http://localhost/cakephp/posts, but the form action
reads:
<form action="/cakephp/cakephp/posts">
Note the additional "cakephp" part, it looks as if $this->here returns a
wrong URL
I have removed the 'url' definition which fixed that but I would like to
understand the logic or idea behind this 'feature'
You also wrote:
In your controller use a RequestHandler-Part to get changes of the
> dropdown and write them into a session variable.
But I did not find out what a "RequestHandler-Part" might be or how to use
a session from within the controller - I'm currently quite overwhelmed by
the huge amount of classes, helpers, components etc. that CakePHP offers -
plus I'm also struggling with the transition from my current language
(Xbase++, which is some xBase dialect) to PHP - especially the heavy use of
multiply nested arrays is quite confusing to me.
So please be patient with me ;-)
