Hi,
Firstly, I'm new here so hopefully I'm posting this in the right area.
I've created a form using cake's form helper. The form consists of
checkboxes for each child of a particular record found with a normal
find('all') call. Given that I know there are four children for each
parent, I've come up with the following code that works perfectly (at least
for my skill level it gets the job done lol).
View code to generate form inputs (dynamically generates inputs per child,
not limited to 4 children):
> <?php foreach($controllerNodes as $controllerNode): ?>
>
> <div class="wrapperFull">
>
> <div class="inputLabel fontSizeDefault fontWeightBold"><?php echo
>> $controllerNode['ControllerNode']['name']; ?></div>
>
> <div class="clearfix">
>
> <?php
>
> foreach($controllerNode['ActionNode'] as $key => $value){
>
> echo
>> $this->Form->input($value['name'].'.'.$controllerNode['ControllerNode']['id'],
>>
>> array(
>
> 'type' => 'checkbox',
>
> 'after' => '<div class="inputCheckboxLabel fontSizeSmall
>> floatLeft">'.$value['name'].'</div>',
>
> ));
>
> }
>
> ?>
>
> </div>
>
> </div>
>
> <?php endforeach; ?>
>
>
Controller code to save the 4 results I know always exist:
> function permissions(){
>
> $id = $this->request->data['Permissions']['id'];
>
> if($this->request->is('post')){
>
> foreach($this->request->data['Create'] as $key => $value){
>>
> if($value == 1){
>
> $this->Acl->allow(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
>> array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key), 'create');
>
> }else{
>
> $this->Acl->deny(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
>> array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key), 'create');
>
> }
>
> }
>
> foreach($this->request->data['Read'] as $key => $value){
>
> if($value == 1){
>
> $this->Acl->allow(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
>> array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key), 'read');
>
> }else{
>
> $this->Acl->deny(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
>> array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key), 'read');

>

So my goal is to get the controller to generate the above foreach loops
dynamically based on the amount of $this->request->data coming in from the
form. I could always add another foreach loop for every new input I create
down the road, but I much prefer the idea of these loops being generated
based on the info from the database (which draws the form, which submits
the data).
In all my searching, I've not figured out a way to know the ammount of
inputs submitted by the form although I'm sure there's probably an easy
answer staring right at me :o
Thanks a lot!
