CakeDC search plugin - check if flag is set

Question

I'm using the cakeDC search plugin in my cake app (2.2). As part of a basic search form I want to ensure only live records are returned (live being a flag in the database - a tinyint, 0 for deleted, 1 for live).

I've tried doing this in my controller:

$isLive = array('live' => '1');
$this->passedArgs = set::merge($this->passedArgs, $isLive);

But it didnt work...

I found this question but the answer didnt really help. Could anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Solved, I missed the filterArgs in the model:

public $filterArgs = array(
    'username' => array('type' => 'like'),
    'company' => array('type' => 'like'),
    'live' => array('type' => 'value')
);

Hopefully this will help someone
