Paul,
First off, Thanks for taking a look.
I guess I am just confused on how I can go about the associations,
since my ratings table is storing specific based on the
editorial_review_id's service_type_id, if that makes sense.
Essentially, someone creates a review, and they drill down with the
rating criteria of each service, since services will having different
ratings. So an example would be:
Parent: Editorial Review
Child: Service Type: Hosted
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 1
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 2
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 3
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 4
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 5
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 6
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 7
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 8
Child: Service Type: VPS
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 1
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 2
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 3
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 4
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 5
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 6
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 7
Sub Child: Rating Criteria 8
The reason I'm doing this this way is I want to make this system a bit
more dynamic, in the sense that a publisher could add more rating
criterias later on without a bunch of code changes, etc.
So, my reason for massging is, I do not know how I can go about saving
this later in a way that cake understands it. I have to set up a
bunch of hidden id's just so I can bring this data in to save it, eg:
<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php $k = 0; ?>
<div style="clear:both;">
<?php foreach($this->viewVars['serviceTypes'] as $key => $val): ?>
<div id="service_type_<?=$key?>" style="display: none;
position:relative; padding: 5px; background: #ddd; float:left; margin-
right:4px;">
<h3>
<?php echo $form->label($val); ?>
</h3>
<?php $j = 1;?>
<?php foreach($ratingTypes as $key2 => $val2): ?>
<br />
<?php if(!empty($this->data['Rating'][$key][$j]['id'])): ?>
<?php echo $form->hidden('', array('name' => 'data[Rating]['.$key.']
['.$j.'][id]', 'value'=>@$this->data['Rating'][$key][$j]['id'])); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $form->hidden('EditorialReviewId', array('name' =>
'data[Rating]['.$key.']['.$j.'][editorial_reviews_id]', 'value'=>@
$this->data['EditorialReview']['id'])); ?>
<?php echo $form->hidden('ServiceTypeId', array('name' =>
'data[Rating]['.$key.']['.$j.'][service_types_id]', 'value'=>@$key)); ?
>
<?php echo $form->hidden('RatingTypeId', array('name' => 'data[Rating]
['.$key.']['.$j.'][rating_types_id]', 'value'=>@$key2)); ?>
<?php
$select = (isset($this->data['Rating'][$key][$j]['rating'])) ?
$this-
>data['Rating'][$key][$j]['rating'] : 1;
?>
<div style="padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 0px; background: #ccc;
display: inline; width:220px; float:left;">
<?php
echo $form->label($val2);
?>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 5px; display: inline;">
<?php
echo $form->select('', array('1'=>'1 - Very
Poor','2'=>'2','3'=>'3','4'=>'4','5'=>'5 - Average', '6'=>'6',
'7'=>'7', '8'=>'8', '9'=>'9', '10'=>'10 - Excellent'), @$select,
array('style'=>'position:relative; top:2px;','name'=> 'data[Rating]['.
$key.']['.$j.'][rating]'), false);
unset($select);
?>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php ++$j; ?>
<?php ++$k; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
There has to be an easier way than this convoluted system. There is
also a bug with this, doing it this way, I have to have the record
created so I can associate the editorial_review_id with the ratings.
TIA
