My USERS in my application all have a unique slug. example profile/johndoe
Now when John wants to edit his profile all of his data is found by his ID
and not his SLUG. How can I get the ID of John based on his SLUG? Basically
use the slug for the URL then in the controller get the USER SLUG and
convert it into the USER ID.
for example in the controller to edits Johns favourite Artists:
function update_artists($slug = null)
{
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()) {
$this->set('user',
$this->Artist->User->findBySlug($slug));//there is no slug in the artists
table, just ID
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
}
}
$artists= $this->Artist->User->find('list', array('fields' =>
artist, 'order' => artist ASC'));
$this->set(compact('artists'));
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Artist->findBySlug($slug);
}
}
Thanks,
Dave
