I have one form that saves a person with many parts and many colors but it's not saving the parts and the colors; only saving the person(main model).
On my list view, part of script:
echo $this->Form->input('Person.person_name', array('required' => true, 'placeholder' => 'Name Your Person', 'label' => false) );
echo $this->Form->input('Part.0.part_name', array('required' => true, 'placeholder' => 'Add Part', 'label' => false) );
echo $this->Form->input('Color.0.color_name', array('required' => true, 'placeholder' => 'Enter a Color', 'label' => false) );
On my list controller:
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$created = $this->Person->saveAll($this->request->data, array('validate'=>'first'));
if (!empty($created)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The person and his/her parts and colors have been saved.'));
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The person could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
}
On my Person Model:
public $hasMany = array(
'PersonParts' => array(
'className' => 'Part',
'foreignKey' => 'part_person_id'
),
'PersonColors' => array(
'className' => 'Color',
'foreignKey' => 'color_person_id'
)
);
Tried replacing saveAll with saveAssociated but it's the same. What am I doing wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated.
