Re: Cakephp 1.3 Edit Action Not Populating Fields

Your form is submitting to the add action.

I'm having a problem with my edit action and Im not sure what my problem is but my fields are not populating. In my model I have a function that retrieves 3 records based on an id, and I call that function in my controller, which in turn should populate data in the view. I have tried to debug but have had no luck. I have tried to use die(debug($this->data)); but I when I run the script the next page loads instead of displaying what is in $this->data, which is strange to me! With that said, here is what I've got. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Model

    public function declinationsForPolicyId($id = null) {

if ($id) {

$items = $this->find('all', array(

'conditions' => array(

'Declination.policy_id' => $id

),

'limit' => 3,

'contain' => array()

));

foreach ($items as $item) {

$ret= $item['Declination'];

}

$ret = array('Declination' => $ret);

}

return $ret;

}

Controller

    public function edit($id = null) {

if (!empty($this->data)) {

die(debug($this->data));

$this->Declination->create();

$this->data = $this->Declination->declinationsForPolicyId($id);

if ($this->Declination->saveAll($this->data['Declination'])) {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('Declinations saved.', true));

$this->redirect(array(

'controller' => 'policies',

'action' => 'view',

$id

));

} else {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('Declinations failed to save.', true));

}

} 

$reasons = $this->Declination->Reason->find('list');

$contactTypes = $this->Declination->ContactType->find('list');

$this->set(compact('id', 'reasons', 'contactTypes'));

}

View

     <div class="content" id="container">

<?php echo $this->UiForm->create('Declination', array(

'url' => array(

'controller' => 'declinations',

'action' => 'add',

$id

)

)); ?>

<?php for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++): ?>

<section  class="panel">

<h4>Declination <?php echo ($i + 1); ?></h4>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.policy_id", array(

'type' => 'hidden',

'value' => $id

)); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.id", array(

'type' => 'hidden'

)); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.first_name"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.last_name"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.company"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.contact_type_id"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.phone_number"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.reason_id"); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.other", array(

'label' => 'If other, please supply a reason'

)); ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->input("Declination.{$i}.dated", array(

'type' => 'text',

'readonly' => 'readonly',

'data-datepicker' => ''

)); ?>

</section>

<?php endfor; ?>

<?php echo $this->UiForm->end(array('label'=>'Continue', 'class'=>'btn success large fr')); ?>
