Hi there!
I'am very impressed about the huge capabilities of CakePHP and about
to create a bigger application after playing around and figuring out,
how things go.
Now I'am a little confused, how to create things like multiple forms
(with a dedicated model) in one view.
I have two controllers: categories and images, with coresponding
models and views, each controller with index/list/add/edit/delete
functions.
I want to have a view, that displays the categories/add form, the
images/list table and the images/add form on one page. I did this,
using the requestAction method in the images/index view like this:
<?php echo $this->requestAction("/categories/
add",array("return"=>true)); ?>
<?php echo $this->requestAction("/images/add",array("return"=>true)); ?
>
(The images/list ist called by the images/index method)
No problem so far.
But now i want to do some validations and the error messages,
depending on which form was submitted, should be displayed in the same
view - no dedicated errorpage - everything in only this one view or
one page if you want.
I did something like this for the categories and images controller:
function add() {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->cleanUpFields();
$this->Category->create();
if($this->Category->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Success!');
$this->redirect('../images/index');
exit();
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Error!');
$this->render('../images/index');
}
}
}
But I get no error messages and the forms were not populated.
When I use $this->render();
instead, I get errormessages, the form will be populated, but I only
get the add-view - shure ...
To cut a long story short: How do I handle the output of multiple
forms in one view in an elegant way!?
Thank you in advance!
Willi
