Re: Inserting records into a table from an element

Its now working create() method should be like this: $this->Form->create('ItQueryResponse', array('action' => 'add'));, otherwise the form submits to the view() method of your controller.

Hi there

I have an element that i am calling with a view file. The element is a add view that is add.ctp, challenge that im having now is that the element is not inserting form input into the table (it_query_responses).

here is how i am calling my element within the view -

    <?php echo $this->Element('ItQueryResponses/add'); ?>

and here is the code for the element

    <?php echo $this->Form->create('ItQueryResponse'); ?>
    <legend><?php echo __('Add It Query Response'); ?></legend>
    <?php
    echo $this->Form->input('it_query_id');
    echo $this->Form->input('hr_employee_id');
    echo $this->Form->input('response');
    echo $this->Form->input('it_query_status_id');
    ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>
   
and here is add function in ItQueryResponsesController

    public function add() {
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
    $this->ItQueryResponse->create();
    if ($this->ItQueryResponse->save($this->request->data)) {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The it query response has been saved'));
    $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
    } else {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The it query response could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
    }
    }
    $itQueries = $this->ItQueryResponse->ItQuery->find('list');
    $hrEmployees = $this->ItQueryResponse->HrEmployee->find('list');
    $itQueryStatuses = $this->ItQueryResponse->ItQueryStatus->find('list');
    $this->set(compact('itQueries', 'hrEmployees', 'itQueryStatuses'));
    }
