Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere; a reasonably thorough
search of this group and of the CakePHP docs yielded no useful
results.
I've got an app that categorizes board games; it pulls data via XML
feed from an external site. My models are such that Game is the
"master" model, and it goes thusly:
Game HABTM Artist
Game HABTM Category
Game HABTM Designer
...and so on.
For a particular game, there can exist multiple artists, multiple
categories, and so on. For example, the game "Die Macher" has only
one designer, but three publishers and several categories.
I'm able to put the artist/category/designer data into the appropriate
tables as needed. What I can't seem to figure out is how to properly
construct my $this->data array so that I can save the artists_games
HABTM linkages.
Am I close with something like this?
$this->data['Game'] = array
(
'Artist' => array('Artist.id' => $artist_id, 'Game.id' => $game_id),
'Category' => array('Category.id' => $category_id, 'Game.id' =>
$game_id),
...
);
The documentation has everything coming in from a form; my app has
everything coming in from XML--thus, I need to manually create $this-
>data.
Incidentally: my baked view for /game/add/ have what look like multi-
select boxes for Artist/Category/etc., but no data inside. Did I miss
something somewhere?
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.
