actually, on reading, it doesn't provide any controller code, just the
views, hmm, so, using the view files from the example, I would do
soemthing like:
function edit($post_id)
{
$this->Post->id = $post_id;
// nothign submitted yet
if (empty($this->data))
{
// get tag names/ids as key value pairs
$this->set('tags', $this->Post->Tag->generateList());
// render form
$this->render();
}
// data submitted
else
{
// no need to do anything else with the data provided
// you've followed the conventions in the view
if ($this->Post->save($this->data))
{
$this->flash('your post was saved', '/posts');
}
else
{
$this->set('data', $this->data);
$this->validateErrors($this->Post);
$this->render();
}
}
}
hope this helps.
