Re: updating a value when user clicks a link

Thanks Cricket,

I added that code as you suggested. While it doesnt cause any errors it doesnt seem to modify the field data either.

what I have is:

   function add($appointment_id = null){
       //existing code
       $this->Advert->Appointment->id = $appointment_id;
       $this->Advert->Appointment->saveField('appointment_status', 'Order');
       $this->Advert->create();      
   }


does that look about right?

And yeah your right i should change it to status

Assuming there's an association between Advert and Appointment:

$this->Advert->Appointment->id = $id;
$this->Advert->Appointment->saveField('appointment_status', 'ordered');

BTW, why don't you name the field just 'status'? Seems a bit redundant.
