Re: editing rows from index.cttp

Hi Jeremy thankyou for replying.

yes there are multiple rows and the idea is that it would be more user friendly if the user could 'batch update' multiple records in one view.

so in my index i have the normal columns of data eg

    <td><?php echo $advert['Advert']['ad_size']; ?>&nbsp;</td>

but at the end there is the addition of:

    <td>
    $this->Form->create('Advert');
    echo $form->input('contract_received');
    </td>

with the form end after the foreach (so there isnt a submit for every row):

   <?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit', true));?>

On the controller i tried using saveAll as following

   $this->Advert->set($this->data);
   $this->Advert->saveAll($this->data);

but i think im missing the way to 'fire' the event.

Does that sound like the right way of doing it? At the moment the submit button doesnt do anything.

Thanks - hope that isnt too confusing

Do you mean that there are multiple rows, each of which could have been updated? If so, (assuming that your form encompasses all of the potential updates) check your $this->data array when the form is submitted. Depending upon its structure you can either do a saveAll($this->data) or loop through and do a series of saves.
