Search Doesn't Work #30

Closed spacebiscuit closed 9 years ago

spacebiscuit commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I have DataTables working with version 2.6 of Cake. But I cannot get the search to work. When I input a string I get an error and the XHR tab on my inspector says:

Model "Classified" is not associated with model "OR"

Also when I add 'link' to my paginate array I get an error but it works when I use 'contain' instead.

Also I couldn't find any instruction that mention that I had to add this to my routes:

Router::parseExtensions('json');

It might help others as it took me others to figure this out.

Thanks.

I've done some further testing, it seems that for search to work the 'Linkable' plugin is required, without it I get the error as reported above.

Yes and honestly, containable kinda sucks anyways.

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to get it working with Containable data as well as Linkable, the original error must have been in my syntax. I use this plugin in on all of my projects now, works very well and saves a lot of time and effort - many thanks!
