function save in controller.php, for blocks

Permalink
I'm new to PHP and can't wrap my head around this or find any helpful documentation, so a point in the right direction would be great.

I'm trying to build a block with fields that draw from two libraries. "Choose image" will draw from the image library, and "Choose link" will draw from the internal link gallery (i.e., "site/path/to/file/index.php").

I kind of Frankensteined the block out of two of Concrete's premade blocks.

In controller.php, there is a conflict between these two:

function save($data) {
         $content = $this->translateTo($data['content']);
         $args['content'] = $content;
         parent::save($args);
      }


and

public function save($args) {      
         $args['fOnstateID'] = ($args['fOnstateID'] != '') ? $args['fOnstateID'] : 0;
         $args['fID'] = ($args['fID'] != '') ? $args['fID'] : 0;
         parent::save($args);
      }


Is there a way to make these two play well together? Thanks for any help.

public function save($args) {
  $args['fOnstateID'] = ($args['fOnstateID'] != '') ? $args['fOnstateID'] : 0;
  $args['fID'] = ($args['fID'] != '') ? $args['fID'] : 0;
  $content = $this->translateTo($args['content']);
  $args['content'] = $content;
  parent::save($args);
}

Yeah, Tony is right. Just take both bodies of the save() functions and combine them into the one.

I will be committing this to memory immediately. A thousand times thank you, sir, for your help. It works like a charm. You've saved what was my rapidly breaking heart.

well for those that are reading this, hopefully due to the title of this post, you will be, any function called via $this->action('save_crm_data') assuming you are using post data(form)

The controller function needs to be named

action_save_crm_data otherwise it won't match up the post action and the data won't be committed.

This stumped me for a few minutes a week ago, just wanted to share.
