Hey thanks for the help... yeah I did learn a while ago that pages
doesn't work... I tried it at the beginning of this project, was just
using that as an example.
Okay, I'm sorry a bit of a n00b here. This is what I had before I
came here, and have actually tried several variations:
function edit($id = null, $secretid = null) {
if (!$id && empty($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid Application', true),
array('action'=>'index'));
if(!$secretid && empty($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid Secret Identification
Code', true),
array('action'=>'index'));
}
}
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->Application->save($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('The Application has been
saved.', true),
array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
}
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Application->read(null, $id);
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That doesn't work, but seems closer to me than my other alternative
which just created new pages every time instead up updating them which
was:
function email($id = null, $secretid = null) {
if (!$id && empty($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid Application', true),
array('action'=>'index'));
}
if(!$secretid && empty($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid Secret Identification Code',
true),
array('action'=>'index'));
}
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->Application->save($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('The Application has been
saved.', true),
array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
}
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Application->read(null, $id);
}
}
----------------------------------
That really fails to do anything productive unfortunately. From how
you have things worded it almost seems like I should be checking the
$secretid in the view or somewhere else. I just don't really get how
to verify the secretid... and it's driving me nuts. I'm not sure what
switching is... but may be what I need. A redirect might work as
well.
