Sorry this took several days to respond, i was sick all weekend, didn't get
anywhere near my computer.
i changed the names of the inputs from *listingsattrs* >> *listings_attrs*
as you recommended (no clue how i missed that to begin with). My POST data
now looks exactly as it did before, except for the name of that particular
item. However, the log output for the $listing entity is still missing the
associated ListingsAttrs data.
The ListingsAttrs Entity didn't have a $_accessible array, so i added a
default:
$_accessible = [
'*' => true
];
The controller code looks like:
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data);
/* i've also tried:
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data, ['associated'
=> ['ListingsAttrs']]);
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data, ['associated'
=> ['ItemAttrs']]);
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data, ['associated'
=> ['ListingsAttrs.ItemAttrs']]);
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data, ['associated'
=> ['ItemAttrs.ListingsAttrs']]);
*/
if ($this->Listings->save($listing)) {
// etc.
}
else {
throw new Exception...
}
What else can i try? i appreciate the help.
