Ok, can't figure if it's wrong or not, so I'm gonna ask the question
here:
I made a new fckEditor helper to handle some problematic of our own.
The thing it does is that it instantiate an fckEditor named after the
field like any other cake field (data[model][field]).
So we got a display function like this to create our fckEditor field
public function display($instance_name = '', $default_value = '',....)
which we call in the form like this
echo $fckeditor->display('model.field',$text,...)
My difficulties come to setting the value, first way we made this work
was like this (in the helper):
$this->_o_EditorInstance->Value = $text; //set the value in the
textarea of the fckeditor
and then in the controller:
set($text, $this->data['model']['field']);
All of this is working well, but I don't like the idea of having to
set my value any time I got a fckEditor in a form for a field which is
for me like any other. So what I noticed is that I was able to access
directly $this->data['model']['field'] in my view or my helper which
gets me to :
$this->_o_EditorInstance->Value = $this->data['model']['field']; //I'm
here in the helper
I got ride off my $text, It's working well, I'm happy, but I'm afraid
I'm going against the way cake works. And anyway it bother me, what
would be wrong about accessing directly $this->data in a view, when it
has been properly and cleanly set in the controller (As long as we
only read values of our form from $this->data, as probably cake reads
the data to set the value for a standard input).
Hopes it’s clear enough. Thx for your help.
