in my application i am using Ajax post like
$('#fb_contentarea_col3 #fb_contentarea_col1down2 #saveForm').live("click", function(){
if(!$("#formName").val()==""){
if(saveDraft=='on')
status="Incompleted";
else
status="Completed";
var formname=$("#formName").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost/FormBuilder/index.php/forms/saveForm/",
async: false,
data: "formname="+formname+"&status="+status,
success: function(msg){
getformid=msg;//returned FOrm id is saved in the JQuery variable
}//success
});//ajax
$("#fb_contentarea_col1down21 div").each(function() {
alert("Form id "+getformid);//alerts me the Form id retrieved
var checked="false";
var id=$(this).attr("id");
var fsize=$("#input"+id+"").width();
var ftype=$("#input"+id+"").attr('data-attr');
var finstr=$("#instr"+id+"").text();
var fname=$("#label"+id+"").clone().html().replace(/<span.*/,'');
if($("#label"+id+"> span.req").length > 0)
{
checked="true";
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost/FormBuilder/index.php/forms/saveField",
async: false,
data: "sequence_no="+id+"&name="+fname+"&type="+ftype+"&size="+fsize+"&instr="+finstr+"&formid="+getformid+"&required="+checked,
success: function(msg){
//alert( "Data Saved: " + msg);
}//success
});//ajax
}//for each DIv in mu design page i am saving them as Field
}//if formname exists
}//saveForm
The Form id as returned from the Controller side is saved in the variable getformid correctly, But it is not reflected in the savefield ajax post..And it is saving as 0 only even it alerts as the returned Form id..Please suggest me..
In addition i am giving here the Code inmy Controller for saveForm
function saveForm() {
$this->data['Form']['name']=$this->params['form']['formname'];
$this->data['Form']['created_by']=$this->Session->read('userId');
$this->data['Form']['status']=$this->params['form']['status'];
$this->data['Form']['access']="Private";
$formId=$this->Form->saveForms($this->data);
$this->set('formId',$formId);
}
And my Model saveForms is like
function saveForms($data)//design saveForm
{
$this->data['Form']['name']=$data['Form']['name'];
$this->data['Form']['created_by']=$data['Form']['created_by'];
$this->data['Form']['status']=$data['Form']['status'];
$this->data['Form']['access']=$data['Form']['access'];
$this->save($this->data);
return $this->id;//returns the saved Form id to the controller
}
And my save_form.ctp in my views folder is like
<?php echo $formId;?>
