cakephp foreign key in multiple rows not working - cakephp

Question

i have 2 table:
tickets :
`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tickets` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`nom_model` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`is_active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`date_modif` date NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`));`
details:
`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `details` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`ticket_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`nom` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`text` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`taille` enum('8','9','10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','20') NOT NULL,
`police` enum('Impact','courier new','times new roman','comic sans ms') NOT NULL,
`bold` int(2) NOT NULL,
`italic` int(2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `ticket_id` (`ticket_id`));`
the tickets have 11 zone (msg_acc, nom_buro,heure, date ....)
which are the attributes of fields nom in table details
and in one zone have (text, police, bold, italic)
therefore must save 11 rows in table (details)
i want to creat form (contains nom model in table ticket and save 11 rows in table details with foreign key ticket_id in table details is the new ticket create (nom_model) ):
I create form save 11 rows market is well but th foreing key not worked
nom_model not save in table (tickets) and the 11 rows save with ticket_id equal 0
the code in model Ticket.php
<?php
class Ticket extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Ticket';
public $displayField='id';
public $hasMany = array(
'Detail'
);
}
?>
the code in model Detail.php
<?php
class Detail extends AppModel{
var $name = 'Detail';
public $belongsTo = array(
'Ticket'
);
}
?>
the code in controller detailsController.php
$this->set('title_for_layout', __('Add Details'));
$tickets= $this->Detail->Ticket->find('list');
if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
if($this->Detail->saveAll($this->request->data['Detail'])){
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Model has been saved'));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Model could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
$this->set('tickets', $tickets);
th code in view add.ctp
<?php echo $this->form->create('Detail');?>
<fieldset>
<legend>Add New Detail</legend>
<?php
echo $this->form->input('Ticket.$i.nom_model');//not working
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.name");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.text");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.taille");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.police");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.bold");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.italic");
$this->form->hidden('ticket_id');} ?> </fieldset>
<?php echo $this->form->end('Submit');?>

Answer 1

You are saving your request data by saveAll without your associated Ticket.
The associated data of Ticked is located in $this->request->data['Ticket'] and will be ignored:
//(Line 4 of your posted controller)
$this->Detail->saveAll($this->request->data['Detail'])
Update:
Your $this->request->data should have the following structure:
Array
(
[Ticket] => Array
(
[id] => 1
...
)
[Detail] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[ticket_id] => 1
...
)
[1] => Array
(
[ticket_id] => 1
...
)
..........
)
)
Adapt your View, generating that datafield and you can try to save your posted data via $this->Detail->saveAll($this->request->data)
Update
Your View in basic should look like the following:
<fieldset>
<legend>Add New Detail</legend>
<?php
echo $this->form->input("Ticket.nom_model");
echo $this->form->hidden("Ticket.id", array('value' => '1'));
for($i=0;$i < $count;$i++){
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.name");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.text");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.taille");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.police");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.bold");
echo $this->form->input("Detail.$i.italic");
echo $this->form->hidden("Detail.$i.ticket_id", array('value' => '1'));} ?>
<?php echo $this->form->end('Submit');?>
</fieldset>
This is an example view, that references Detail to Ticket via Ticked.id = 1
Update:
You should define the foreign key from Detail to Ticket in your Models/Detail.php:
public $belongsTo = array(
'Ticket' => array(
'className' => 'Ticket',
'foreignKey' => 'ticket_id'
)
);
