Sorry, simacole, I'm at (and very probably beyond) the limit of my knowledge of Cake. I'm hoping some others will chime in and show how my generic php concepts require far too much work. I know (because I've done it) that it's possible to accomplish multi-row editing (outside Cake, that is) by using the good old $_POST[] array, but I'm at a loss about the Cakey nuts and bolts of doing it in a way that takes advantage of what the framework has to offer.
I do have the impression that one can use the checkbox helper to create any kind of checkbox, even one that doesn't exactly fit the Cake mold. Generating the data rows and the checkboxes is really the easy part here. It's the save() that's difficult. But maybe it isn't dificult! If someone has actually created a multi-row editing page like this, please chime in. I can find no good examples. The idea of multi-row editing is of great interest to me as well as to simacole. What Mariano Iglesias wrote is suggestive, but not detailed enough. I guess the key issue (to me) is, Will those rows all be included in the $data[] array? And, Will they all be saved back if I alter them in that array, then do a simple save()? Okay... to check the above, I opened a Cake list page with debugging set at 4, then looked at the $data[] array, and I find that yes, all the rows displayed on the page are present there in $data[]. So, if the list were wrapped up in a form, then some of the rows were altered in the $data[] array, and then a simple save() were performed... would everything be saved all at once? If so, then maybe the multi-row editing is pretty easy after all. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
