Does anyone know a way to change the default model used by a page? I
need to try to 'fool' Cake into believing it's running from a
different URL in part of the page.
My example is for classified listings. On my listings index page,
underneath the main content from the listings controller, I have a
form allowing a user to edit their personal profile at any time - and
should show a pre-filled form, as you'd get by going to
/profiles/edit/4.
I tried using RequestAction in the following but it didn't work as all
that does is return the results of that page, it doesn't change the
"this->..." info being used:
<?
echo $this->model;
// returns "Listing"
$this->data = $this->requestAction('/profiles/edit/4');
echo $this->model;
// still echoes 'Listing', not 'Profile' as hoped.
?>
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this change, as RequestAction
clearly doesn't work. I need to change it so that the form helper
(using the value function in helper.php) will populate, as it takes
its criteria from $this->data[$this->model][$this->field] and if it's
using the wrong model to start with, it's not going to populate the
form correctly.
Thanks.
