I have several tables and corresponding models, that is to say, Staffs, Dpmembers, Subjects and Positions tables. In my Staff model I create hasOne on Department because I want to retrieve data from Department table which is working.
But I have also created more associations of hasMany on Dpmember, Subject and Position models because I want to save the corresponding staff records.
The view newstaff.ctp looks like this
<div class="staff form"> <?php echo $this->Form->create('Staff');?> <h3><?php echo __('Add a new staff member'); ?></h3> <?php echo $this->Form->input('name'); echo $this->Form->input('marital',array('label'=>'Marital status','options'=>array('empty'=>'Choose status','Single'=>'Single','Divorced'=>'Divorced','Married'=>'Married'))); echo $this->Form->input('Children'); echo $this->Form->input('nationality'); echo $this->Form->input('location'); echo $this->Form->input('email'); echo $this->Form->input('phone',array('label'=>'Phone number')); echo $this->Form->input('nextofkeen',array('label'=>'Next of keen')); echo $this->Form->input('keenrelation',array('label'=>'Next of keen relationship','options'=>array('Choose option'=>'Choose option','Husband'=>'Husband','Wife'=>'Wife','Guardian'=>'Gaurdian','Child'=>'Child'))); echo $this->Form->input('school'); echo $this->Form->input('award'); echo $this->Form->input('schoolperiod'); echo $this->Form->input('workplace',array('label'=>'Workplace')); echo $this->Form->input('workposition'); echo $this->Form->input('workperiod'); echo $this->Form->input('dpmember.department.',array('options'=>$department,'empty'=>'Choose Department','label'=>'Department')); echo $this->Form->input('subject.subjcet',array('options'=>array('Choose option'=>'Choose option','Science'=>'Science','Social Studies'=>'Social studies','English'=>'English','Mathematics'=>'Mathematics'),'label'=>'Subject')); echo $this->Form->input('position.role',array('options'=>array('Choose option'=>'Choose option','Class teacher'=>'Class teacher','Bursar'=>'Bursar','Cook'=>'Cook'),'label'=>'Position')); echo $this->Form->submit('Save staff', array('class' => 'btn btn-success', 'title' => 'Click here to add the user') ); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?> </div>
My Staff Model Staff.php like this
<?php class Staff extends AppModel{ public $hasOne = array( 'Department'=>array( 'className'=>'Department' )); public $hasMany = array( 'Dpmember'=>array( 'className'=>'Dpmember', 'foreign_key'=>'Dpmember.staff_id' ), 'Subject'=>array( 'className'=>'Subject', 'foreign_key'=>'Subject.staff_id' ), 'Position'=>array( 'className'=>'Position', 'foreign_key'=>'Position.staff_id' ) ); } ?>
In my StaffsController.php I have a function newstaff() with the code below
public function newstaff() { /*Create a select form field for departments */ $department = $this->Staff->Department->find('list',array('fields'=>array('Department.title','Department.title'))); $this->set('department', $department); /*End creation of a select form field for departments */ if (!empty($this->request->data)) { debug($this->request->data); // returns all data debug($this->Staff->Subject->subject); // has returned null debug($this->Staff->Position->position); // has returned null debug($this->Staff->Dpmember->departement); // has returned null } }
I don't know why but for some reason, I have not been able to found out. Running debug($this->request->data) returns expected data.
But accessing individual associated form fields returns null values not the expected data. Please help me.
Thank you
