Hi again,
I can't get the saveAll() method to work for an indirectly-associated
model. My model associations are:
Clon hasMany MotherClon
Clon hasMany FatherClon
Mated belongsTo Mother /* mated.mother_id -> clon.id */
Mated belongsTo Father /* mated.father_id -> clon.id */
Mated belongsTo Pop /* mated.pop_id -> pop.id */
Pop hasMany Mated
So, what I'm trying to do is save a new Pop record, save 0, 1 or 2
Clon records, THEN add the appropriate record to the linking Mated
table (I view the problem this way because I don't see how I can add
the foreign keys mother_id and father_id into a Mated record before
they exist in Clon). And I cannot get the Clon data saved from the
pops_controller. I have been all over the web and cannot see how my
approach differs from anything that I have read.
Code snippets follow. I have gone brain-dead and am completely lost
here, any suggestions?
Thanx, DaveT.
/////////////// from pops_controller.php:
function add() {
$this->loadModel('Clon');
// also tried: $Clon = ClassRegistry::init('Clon');
if (array_key_exists('Cancel', $this->params['form'])) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Cancelled adding new population.');
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} elseif (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Pop->create();
if ($this->Pop->saveAll($this->data['Pop'],
array('validate'=>'first')) {
// also tried: $this->Pop->saveAll($this->data['Clon'],
array('validate'=>'first'))
$this->Session->setFlash('The Population has been
saved.');
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('The Population could not be
saved.
Please, try again.');
}
}
} // end add()
/////////////// from pops\add.ctp:
echo $form->input('id');
echo $form->input('Clon.id');
echo $form->input('name', array( 'label' => 'Population' ));
echo $form->input('Clon.1.name', array( 'label' => 'Mother' ));
echo $form->input('Clon.2.name', array( 'label' => 'Father' ));
// echo $form->input( <other pop fields> );
