Hi Pau, Are you using 1.2? If so, $this->renderElement is deprecated and you should use $this->element instead. You can read up on elements at http://book.cakephp.org/view/97/Elements.
But this specific situation sounds like a perfect task for a helper. Helpers (see http://book.cakephp.org/view/101/Creating-Helpers) are great for reusing code that will be used in multiple views across your app. Doing so keeps you from repeating that code in lots of view files. Start by create a helper and placing the processing code there. Then call the helper function from your view and pass in the data to be processed. The helper should simply return the string for final output, which you'd then echo in the view. Does that make sense? Hope it works for you. -Lance On Feb 3, 2:33 am, Pau <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi. > I'm traying to display in a view a string asociated to a field value. > > <?php > $i = 0; > foreach ($datas as $data): > $class = null; > if ($i++ % 2 == 0) { > $class = ' class="altrow"'; > } > > switch ($data['Model']['field']) > { > case 'A': > $varp = __('String1',true); > break; > case 'B': > $pasta = __('String2',true); > break; > case 'C': > $pasta = __('String3',true); > break; > }; > > ..... > <td> .. echo $varp ..</td> > > endforeach; > > ?> > > I need to reuse this switch statement in other views.
