Body
copied!<p>I'm using cakephp 2.</p> <p>Is it possible to use the form helper postLink function to update a record? Basically I want a "Approve" button that changes the "Approved" field of a record to 1.</p> <p>Everything I can find only relates to performing a delete function? The docs don't go into much details either.</p> <p>Any help would be great, thanks in advance</p> <p>My code:</p> <pre><code><?php echo $this->Form->postLink(__('Approve'), array( 'controller' => 'expenseclaims', 'action' => 'edit', $expenseClaim['ExpenseClaim']['id'], 'approved' => '1', 'approved_by' => $adminUser, ), array( 'class' => 'btn btn-danger' ), __('Are you sure you want to Approve # %s?',$expenseClaim['ExpenseClaim']['id'] )); ?> </code></pre> <p>New code: view post link:</p> <pre><code><?php echo $this->Form->postLink(__('Approve'), array('action' => 'approve', $expenseClaim['ExpenseClaim']['id'], 'admin' => true), array('class' => 'btn btn-danger'), __('Are you sure you want to Approve # %s?',$expenseClaim['ExpenseClaim']['id'])); ?> </code></pre> <p>Controller code:</p> <pre><code>public function admin_approve($id = null) { debug($this->request); $this->ExpenseClaim->id = $id; if (!$this->request->is('post') && !$this->request->is('put')) { throw new MethodNotAllowedException(); } if (!$this->ExpenseClaim->exists()) { throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid expense claim')); } if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) { $this->request->data['ExpenseClaim']['approved'] = '1'; $this->request->data['ExpenseClaim']['approved_by'] = $this->Auth->user('id'); if ($this->ExpenseClaim->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('The expense claim has been Approved', 'flash_success'); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index', 'admin' => true)); } else { $this->Session->setFlash('The expense claim could not be approved. Please, try again.', 'flash_failure'); } } } </code></pre>
