Hello,
I got a weird issue in CakePHP 2.2.
I have created a plugin, let's call it PluginName, and within PluginName I
have the following:
Controller:
- DogsController
- CatsController
Model
- PluginNameAppModel.php
- Dog.php
- Cat.php
(all models extend the PluginNameAppModel.php)
*
within PluginNameAppModel.php I have a beforeSave() function declared*
public function beforeSave(){
> $this->data[$this->alias]['created_by'] = 'someone';
> return true;
> }
>
*within DogsController I have the following function:*
...
> public $uses=array('PluginName.Dog');
> ...
>
public function add(){
>
> if($this->request->is('post')){
> $this->Dog->save($this->request->data);
>
}
>
> }
>
So, when saving the *Dog* data it should also add the *created_by* column
but is not doing that.
After troubleshooting for a while I noticed that the *PluginName.Dog*(model) is
not being used when I'm doing the saving because I added a dummy
variable to it and then printed *$this->Dog (print_r($this->Dog))* and
didn't see the variable when posting the data. I'm not sure how the saving
actually works and why is it not using the actual *Dog* model class I
created.
I have tried clearing cache but it doesn't work still. Any ideas why? (The
file name convention is correct as well)
Any help would be appreciated.
p.s. if I print the Dog class (*print_r($this->Dog; exit;*) before
the*if($this->request->isPost())
* statement when the action loads I do get to see the dummy variable. The
issue is happening when I post from a form.
