As marshaller accepts existing related data OR new related data, but NOT
both I had do like this.
$contact = $this->Contacts->newEntity($this->request->data);
if($this->request->data){
//debug($this->request->data);
/*'skills' => [
'_ids' => [
(int) 0 => '1', //found in skills, this is the id
(int) 1 => '~könyvelő' //starts with "~" this is a new
skill (or fast typer problem)
]]
*/
foreach($this->request->data['skills']['_ids'] as $i => $skill){
if(mb_substr($skill, 0,1) == '~'){
$skill = ltrim($skill, '~');
$contact['skills'][] = $this->Contacts->Skills->newEntity([
'name' => $skill]);
}
}
}
And now it works like a charm. :)
CakePHP is great :)
