Here is the thing:
The basic Idea is to have a list of devices,
every device belongs to a type (say server, switch, screen, mouse...).
depending on the type, different fields should be displayed in the views
(ip address for server, screen size for screen...).
Database (simplified):
Table devices
* id
* name
Table device_types
* id
* name
Table fields
* id
* name
Table field_values
* id
* field_id
* device_id
* value
Table devicetypes_fields
* id
* device_type_id
* field_id
it might be that this model is not perfect, just tell me...
what i tried (and its working for the view, but i dont know how to start for
the edit views) is this:
devices_controller.php:view()
[...]
// load FieldList
$this->loadModel('DevicetypesField');
$a = $this->DevicetypesField->find('all',
array(
'conditions' => array('DevicetypesField.device_type_id'
=> $this->viewVars['device']['DeviceType']['id'])
, 'fields' => array('DevicetypesField.field_id')
)
);
// Load Field Names
$this->loadModel('Field');
$this->set('fields',
$this->DevicetypesField->find('all',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'DevicetypesField.device_type_id' =>
$this->viewVars['device']['DeviceType']['id']
, 'Field.enabled' => 1
)
, 'fields' => array('Field.name')
)
)
);
[...]
view.tcp
[...]
<?php
for($fieldId = 0;$fieldId < count($fields);$fieldId++) {
$field = $fields[$fieldId];
echo '<dt';
if ($i % 2 == 0) echo $class . '>';
__($field['Field']['name']);
echo '</dt><dd';
if ($i++ % 2 == 0) echo $class . '>';
echo $device['FieldValue'][$fieldId]['value'] . ' ';
echo '</dd>';
}
?>
[...]
how do i implement this with cakephp, in the intended way?
any help is appreciated.
