I have several tables and corresponding models, that is to say, *Staffs,
Dpmembers*, *Subjects* and *Positions* tables. In my *Staff* model I create
*hasOne* on *Department* because I want to retrieve data from Department
table which is working.
But I have also created more associations of *hasMany* on *Dpmember*,
*Subject* and *Position* models because I want to save the corresponding
staff records.
The view *newstaff.ctp* looks like this
<div class="staff form">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Staff');?><h3><?php echo __('Add a new staff
member'); ?></h3><?php
echo $this->Form->input('name');
echo $this->Form->input('marital',array('label'=>'Marital
status','options'=>array('empty'=>'Choose
status','Single'=>'Single','Divorced'=>'Divorced','Married'=>'Married')));
echo $this->Form->input('Children');
echo $this->Form->input('nationality');
echo $this->Form->input('location');
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->input('phone',array('label'=>'Phone number'));
echo $this->Form->input('nextofkeen',array('label'=>'Next of keen'));
echo $this->Form->input('keenrelation',array('label'=>'Next of keen
relationship','options'=>array('Choose option'=>'Choose
option','Husband'=>'Husband','Wife'=>'Wife','Guardian'=>'Gaurdian','Child'=>'Child')));
echo $this->Form->input('school');
echo $this->Form->input('award');
echo $this->Form->input('schoolperiod');
echo $this->Form->input('workplace',array('label'=>'Workplace'));
echo $this->Form->input('workposition');
echo $this->Form->input('workperiod');
echo
$this->Form->input('dpmember.department.',array('options'=>$department,'empty'=>'Choose
Department','label'=>'Department'));
echo $this->Form->input('subject.subjcet',array('options'=>array('Choose
option'=>'Choose option','Science'=>'Science','Social Studies'=>'Social
studies','English'=>'English','Mathematics'=>'Mathematics'),'label'=>'Subject'));
echo $this->Form->input('position.role',array('options'=>array('Choose
option'=>'Choose option','Class teacher'=>'Class
teacher','Bursar'=>'Bursar','Cook'=>'Cook'),'label'=>'Position'));
echo $this->Form->submit('Save staff', array('class' => 'btn btn-success',
'title' => 'Click here to add the user') ); ?><?php echo $this->Form->end();
?></div>
My Staff Model *Staff.php* like this
<?php
class Staff extends AppModel{
public $hasOne = array(
'Department'=>array(
'className'=>'Department'
));
public $hasMany = array(
'Dpmember'=>array(
'className'=>'Dpmember',
'foreign_key'=>'Dpmember.staff_id'
),
'Subject'=>array(
'className'=>'Subject',
'foreign_key'=>'Subject.staff_id'
),
'Position'=>array(
'className'=>'Position',
'foreign_key'=>'Position.staff_id'
)
);
}?>
In my *StaffsController.php* I have a function newstaff() with the code
below
public function newstaff() {
/*Create a select form field for departments */
$department =
$this->Staff->Department->find('list',array('fields'=>array('Department.title','Department.title')));
$this->set('department', $department);
/*End creation of a select form field for departments */
if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
debug($this->request->data); // returns all data
debug($this->Staff->Subject->subject); // has returned null
debug($this->Staff->Position->position); // has returned null
debug($this->Staff->Dpmember->departement); // has returned null
}}
------------------------------
I don't know why but for some reason, I have not been able to found out.
Running debug($this->request->data) returns expected data.
But accessing individual associated form fields returns null values not the
expected data. Please help me.
Thank you
