OK I went with my original idea, changed the url and created 1 function to
update everything individually. The problem I am running into now is when
the form is displayed the options are no longer selected for each section.
function update($slug, $modelName)
{
$user = $this->User->findBySlug($slug);
if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()) {
$this->set('user', $this->User->read(null, $id));
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
//$this->view_$modelName($slug);
}
}
$model_name = Inflector::classify($modelName);
$options = $this->User->$model_name->find('list',
array('fields' => 'name', 'order' => 'name ASC'));
$this->set(compact('options'));
debug(array($slug, $modelName, $id, $model_name));
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->User->read(null, $id);
}
}
When I debug I get the correct info.
$modelName = educations
$model_name - Education
$slug = the name on the account
$id = the user id
Just not sure why no info is being displayed on the form. (I have options
selected in the original rendered view, when I click edit the form appears
with all the options to choose from but the ones that were selected are now
blank)
Ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Your idea is the what I believe is the correct solution.
Instead of calling $this->User->Skills->find... You'd call $this->User-
>$modelName->find
You'd need to do something with the view_skills and view_educations type
functions. Assuming they are similar you could do $this->view ($slug,
$modelName), otherwise perhaps move them into the model and call
$this->User->$modelName->view($slug);
