This is not a CakePHP issue, this is related to a jQuery plugin that I
don't think there is a CakePHP helper for (may find one somewhere but
never heard of the plugin myself).
However, let's try and get you on the right path. It's one thing to
open a modal that contains a form, which it seems you're managing to
do, but you then need to ensure that the form within the modal is
being submitted as an AJAX request that updates the modal rather than
loading a new page.
I am not familiar with NyroModal so can't give specific help on that
jQuery Plugin. I've had a quick look at the plugin's documentation
and I found the demos very hard to follow:
http://nyromodal.nyrodev.com/
However, I think you simply need to add class='nyroModal' to your form
tag and it will submit the form as an ajax request, but you need to
make sure Cake is then able to handle the AJAX request properly and
send it back without the default layout and debug messages etc. I
reccomend using the RequestHandler component to check if a request to
the controller/action isAjax and then set the layout to 'ajax' which
will probably just contain <?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>. I also
strongly reccomend using FireBug when working with AJAX so you can see
if your requests are being fired, what they sent and what they
returned.
Why did you chose NyroModal over jQuery UI's excellent native 'dialog'
which creates modals that are themeable? I use these all the time and
find the documentation to be spot on.
