I think I wrote too much and explained so little.
This is the situation:
3 Backend Controllers:
- Users
- News
- Images
news/admin_add.ctp
__________________
...
<link: array('controller' => 'image', 'action' => 'index', 'inline' =>
true)>
...
images_controller.php
____________________
class ImagesController extends AppController
{
public function beforeFilter()
{
if (isset($this->params['named']['inline']))
{
$this->layout = 'simple';
}
}
public function admin_upload()
{
...
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'edit', $uploaded_file_name,
'inline' => isset($this->params['named']['inline']));
}
}
That is just a snip, but EVERY redirection on the controller needs
that confirmation to make the option persistente between navigation.
The same for all the views of the images.
I think I am clear now. The problem now is that I need to pass another
variable because I have multiple editors and need to pass the ID.
I have already thinked in elements, but the problem is that this is a
COMPLETE controller. Also elements would still need this logic,
to persist these options on the URL.
What can I do? : (
