Re: CakeDC Search plugin for CakePhp 2.0, multiple models

oops, my message was meant to you Bob, sorry

 

Hi. Recently I had to face this same issue, but with cakephp 1.3 

 

Did you read the README.txt that came along cakedc search plugin? with that as a starting point, I was able to build a search box where I ask not only fields related to the main model, but also fields of related models. And the only files required to be modified are the main model controller, and its model file.

Is there any way to make this work? As I understand it you have to enable Search.Searchable in the $actsAs, and define $filterArgs for each Model, then add Search.Prg to $components and define $presetVars in the Controller.

Then in your .ctp file you put something like this:

echo $this->Form->create('MyModel', array('url' => array_merge(array('action' => 'find'), $this->params['pass'])));

echo $this->Form->input('search', array('div' => false));

echo $this->Form->submit(__('Search', true), array('div' => false));

echo $this->Form->end();

But this allows you to search in one Model at a time. Is there any way to define a search form with one search field and have it look in various fields within various Models?

Thanks

Bob
