OK got this working - not sure its the *best* way though
In your view:
<?php echo $ajax->editor('edit-address','update?name=address&id='.
$participant['Participant']['id']); ?>
i.e. use the GET param to pass through an id and the field name
In your controller:
$this->autoRender = false;
if(!empty($this->params['form'])) {
$value = $this->params['form']['value'];
$this->Participant->id = $_GET['id'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
if($this->Participant->saveField($name,
$value)){
echo $value;
} else {
echo "bad ass"; // not sure how to
debug yet!
}
exit;
}
