Hi,
Thanks, I have been trying that, but the idea was to re-use the
views I have already without having to change them.
I "changed" the "standard" edit form over to an element by moving
the file into the appropriate folder, but it does not render the model
values in the form fields automatically, e.g. in my Food Menus edit
view, I have a list of dishes that I want to have an edit form for -
so I loop through them calling render element like so...
<?php
foreach ($foodMenu['MenuDish'] as $menuDish) {
echo $this->renderElement('menu_dishes/admin_edit', array('data' =>
array('MenuDish' => $menuDish)));
} ?>
my simplified element is the same as a standard edit form for the
MenuDish and is as follows:
<?php
$this->data = $data;
//print_r($this->data);
?>
<form action="<?php echo $html->url('/admin/menu_dishes/edit/'.$html-
>tagValue('MenuDish/id')); ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-
data">
<div class="required">
<?php echo $form->labelTag('MenuDish/title', 'Title');?>
<?php echo $html->input('MenuDish/title', array('size' => '10'));?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('MenuDish/title', 'Please enter the
Title.');?>
</div>
<div class="submit">
<?php echo $html->submit('Save');?>
</div>
</form>
This does not render the values of the MenuDish in the input in the
same way as it would in a standard view. That's what I want to happen
with my "nested" views.
Thanks
Glen
