Hey, I am back,
So, I found out something interesting, This is everything.
First, It is only a problem when an object belongs to another object.
Example, Post and Comment and the Comment has a post_id.
Now, what I had in the view looked like the following...
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $html->url('/posts/add/'.
$params['pass'][0]) ?>">
<?php echo $html->hidden('Comment/post_id', array('value' =>
$params['pass'][0])); ?>
<?php echo $html->textArea('Comment/body'); ?>
</form>
This way, I had the Posts ID passed in the url, so that after the
Comment was added, the controller knew which post to redirect the user
back too.
My controller would look something like this
function add($post_id = null) {
if ($this->Comment->save($this->data)) {
$this->redirect('/posts/view/'.$post_id);
}
}
And for some reason, only when there is a comment in the database in
which the id and post_id are the same (id = 2, post_id = 2), cake will
overwrite this post instead of adding a new one.
So, if I just remove the post_id from the url in the form like this in
the view...
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $html->url('/posts/add') ?>">
<?php echo $html->hidden('Comment/post_id', array('value' =>
$params['pass'][0])); ?>
<?php echo $html->textArea('Comment/body'); ?>
</form>
And use the post data to redirect the user (thus removing the
parameter in the action) in the controller...
function add() {
if ($this->Comment->save($this->data)) {
$this->redirect('/posts/view/'.$this->data['Comment']['post_id']);
}
}
Everything works just fine. Really, no issues anymore!
I am very interested in this, as both methods should work, and the
first works except in a strange case. I guess it may be a bug.
What is everyones thoughts?
