thanks Reuben,... after all,... (in case someone needs it) this works for me:
this is my form: <?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('url' => 'find', 'div' => false)); ?> <span style="float: left; text-align: left; margin: 20px 5px 0 5px; width: 100px; "> <?php $value = array('yes' => __('yes', true), 'no' => __('no', true)); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->select('activated', $value, null, array('div' => false, 'empty' => 'activated' )) ?> </span> <div style="float: left; text-align: left; margin: 0 0 0 20px;"> <?php echo $this->Form->end('Search', array('div' => false)); ?> </div> and here is the controller code: elseif(!empty($this->data['User']['activated'])) { $this->paginate = array('User' => array('conditions' => array('User.token IS' . ($this->data['User']['activated'] == 'yes' ? '' : ' NOT') . ' ' . 'NULL' ), 'limit' => 24, 'order' => array('User.created' => 'DESC'))); $users = $this->paginate('User'); $this->set('users', $users); } the cake is Rocks !!!
