OK, I have been playing with this.
My projects controller is this:
##########################
<?php
class ProjectsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Projects';
var $layout = 'frontend';
var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Javascript', 'Ajax' );
var $scaffold;
function add()
{
if (!empty($this->params['data']))
{
if ($this->Project->save($this->params['data']))
{
$this->set('tasks',
$this->requestAction('/tasks/index')); // the
view I would like to grab belongs to the Tasks object/controller
$this->render('tasks', 'ajax');
}
else
{
// do nothing
}
}
}
}
?>
But i get the following error:
##########################
You are seeing this error because the view for
ProjectsController::tasks() could not be found.
Cake is looking for a view of the current object which is Projects.
Any ideas?
