Hi everyone,
Could anyboy tell me if it is possible to use $this-\>html-\>link() inside a cell view?
I’m trying this:
$this-\>Html-\>link(‘Recibo’, [‘action’ =\> ‘nomina’, $var1, $var2, $var3], [‘class’ =\> ‘btn btn-sm btn-primary’]);
but, it (this link button) did not even appear in the rendered view.
What I’m doing wrong?
Please, I’ll really apreciate any help

Try adding controller:
$this-\>Html-\>link(‘Recibo’, [**‘controller’ =\> ‘Thecontroller’,** ‘action’ =\> ‘nomina’, $var1, $var2, $var3], [‘class’ =\> ‘btn btn-sm btn-primary’]);
