RE: Form Fields

function edit()
{
$additionals =
$this->Additional->getAdditionals($this->Auth->User('id'));
if (!empty($this->data)) {


debug($this->data);

$this->Additional->deleteAll(array('Additional.profile_id' =>
$this->Auth->User('id')));
foreach ($this->data['Additional'] as $key =>
$value) {
//if name is empty remove skill
if (empty($value['name'])) {
//debug($value);
unset($this->data['Additional'][$key]);
}
}
debug($this->data);
foreach ($this->data['Additional'] as
$entry) {
//debug($entry);
$this->Additional->create();
$this->data['Additional']['profile_id'] =
$this->Auth->User('id');
$this->data['Additional']['name'] = $entry['name'];
$this->data['Additional']['skillset_id'] =
$entry['skillset_id'];
$this->data['Additional']['year_id'] =
$entry['year_id'];
$this->Additional->save($this->data, true);
}


if ($this->Additional->saveAll($this->data,
array('validate'=>'first'))) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Additional has been
saved', true));

} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Additional could not
be saved. Please, try again.', true));
}
}
$skillsets = $this->Additional->Skillset->find('list',
array('conditions' => array('Skillset.id !=' => 8),'fields' =>
array('Skillset.id', 'Skillset.group')));
$years = $this->Additional->Year->find('list',
array('fields' => array('Year.id', 'Year.range')));
$this->set(compact('skillsets', 'years', 'additionals'));
}

$this->Additional->getAdditionals produces:

Array
(
[Additional] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 19
[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdf
[created] =>

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 20
[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdf
[created] =>

[2] => Array

[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdfsdf
[created] =>

[3] => Array
(
[id] => 22
[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdfsdf
[created] =>
[modified] =>

[4] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdfsdf
[created] =>
[modified] =>
)

[5] => Array
(
[id] => 24
[profile_id] => 4b40eea7-2608-4a3b-9c24-7cb04adcd75b
[skillset_id] => 1
[year_id] => 1
[name] => sdfsdfsdf
[created] =>
[modified] =>

)

)

So this is the data that now gets saved and pulled from the db. I just cant
get it populated into the fields.

Thanks again for your time.

Ok, I see I answered something in your Add fields thread which you are
actually doing here :) Please show the code that you are using for the save
operation, also what you are doing with the data before the save operation.
Enjoy,
John
