You will have to create the inputs the old fashioned way, and create
the empyer records as an array that you can loop over when posted
back.
In the controller function use $this->set('formerEmployers', $this-
>FormerEmployer->findAllByApplicantId($applicant_id));
Then in the view, make sure you include FormerEmplyee id if it is an
edit and do something like
<?php for ($i=0; $i < count($formerEmployers); $i++): ?>
<input type='text' name='data[FormerEmployers][<?= $i; ?>][name]'
value='<?= $formerEmplyers[$i]['FormerEmployer']['name']; ?>" />
<input type='hidden' name='data[FormerEmployers][<?= $i; ?>][id]'
value='<?= $formerEmplyers[$i]['FormerEmployer']['id']; ?>" />
<?php endfor; ?>
Then in the post back you can loop over the records with
foreach ($this->data['FormerEmployers'] as $employer){
$this->FormerEmployer->create(); // you need this line to stop the
model repeatedly saving over the initial record
$toSave = array("FormerEmployer" => $employer);
$this->FormerEmployer->Save($toSave);
}
