Hi,
Can't figure this one out, not for the want of trying though.
Models involved are Category, CandidateItem which are associated in
each model as HABTM. I created a temp baked project to see if the
association definition was correct and it appears to be.
In my categories_controller I have a method which is called via AJAX
from a categories view. The method does stuff that returns an array of
strings which I want to create CandidateItems from. I have tried a
number of ways to do this. Firstly with a large array thus:
$data = array();
$data["Category"]["id"] = $categoryId; // set previously
foreach($titles as $title) {
$data["CandidateItem"]["CandidateItem"][$count]["title"] = $title;
$data["CandidateItem"]["CandidateItem"][$count]["category_id"] =
$categoryId;
}
$this->Category->save($data);
This doesn't save anything, just updates the last modified date on the
Category.
I have tried similar to above where in the foreach loop I
{
$data = array();
$data["CandidateItem"]["title"]
= $item;
$data["CandidateItem"]["category_id"] = $categoryId;
$this->CandidateItem->create($data);
$this->CandidateItem->save($data);
}
which does save new CategoryItems but doesn't save any association
data in the category_items_categories table.
What am I doing wrong? Some pointer would be most welcome as all the
docs appear to discuss creation of HABTM associations from a view (and
therefore discuss what needs to go in there) I can find nothing on
this particular use case.
Thanks
Conrad
