Question

What I have is the following db structure(tables):
lists[name,id]
list_items[title,list_id,content]
I’ve created the needed files and code(the MVC) needed to manage the first table(lists).
I also added the hasMany to the model class. At that point I am stuck.
What I need is a solution for managing each item (basic CRUD, I assume that complex management is just an advanced CRUD that I will find out how to do by myself).
I will be specific: since it’s a content that have no place (but the admin) that it will be used by itself, should I –

1. create a full mvc structure for it? (can or should I implement it somehow[how?] in the lists package?
2. if not, how can I attach the tables? (since the use is about to be dropped in version 2)
3. would an element(cake concept/context) will be the appropriate way to create a view for such situation?

ANY insight will be appreciated.

Answer 1

If I undertant correctly, you want to create a CRUD part of this tables by yourself, without bake.

You need to write all the MVC estrucure and be carefull with the naming combention of cakephp http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2006/02/18/cakephp-conventions/

You need the model into app/models and also a a controller into app/controllers (remember naming combentions) and for each model you need a folder into /app/views.

Alfo, every, every function in your controller needs a view, even if this action doesn´t write anything to screen

I hope this was usefull.
