Question

I have a little trouble with naming convention in CakePHP 1.3. I’ve element called storeItem.ctp, when I’m trying to call it from another view – it works perfect, but when I’m trying to use it as view for action($this->viewPath = ‘elements’; and then $this->render(null, ‘ajax’, ‘/canvas/storeItem’);) I’m getting the error: Error: Confirm you have created the file: ***views/elements/canvas/store_item.ctp.
How can I fix it without renaming element?

An explanation why your code does not work as expected is written in the second paragraph from the bottom in the cookbook. You should try it this way:

$this->layout = 'ajax';
$this->render('/elements/canvas/storeItem');
