Correct approach - single page controllers?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
** Edit: Got it, needed to redirect to another "save_complete" method, set the message there, and the view is always updated with the saved value **

Think I'm going wrong here.

I have a simple form, which retrieves and saves user attributes.
When I save I get some odd behaviour, like it retrieves the attribute to display on the form before it is updated.

If I do the below it sorts it, but the question is should I need to. This code is all in the on_start method of the single page controller.

if($_POST){               
   $this->set('myDomain',$_POST['mydomain']);   
} else {      
   $this->set('myDomain',$ui->getAttribute('my_domain'));
}


Expected to just be able to do this

$this->set('myDomain',$ui->getAttribute('my_domain'));


I can also redirect, back to the default view and that sorts it. But then I lose my $message output.

Help appreciated.
