Hi again! I'm trying to use the FormHelper to make checkboxes for simple enum data in my database. The values in the database are always stored as 'yes' or 'no'.
I can get the form to work just fine using dropdown select elements, but I can't get it to work with checkboxes. The boxes are always checked. I think the thing I haven't worked out is how to tell FormHelper that I want 'no' to mean unchecked and 'yes' to mean checked. I included the key/value pair of 'value' => 'yes' in the array of options, but this doesn't seem to be helping. I've looked at the code at http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/form_8php-source.html#l00672 , especially these lines: 00673 $value = 1; 00674 if (isset($options['value'])) { 00675 $value = $options['value']; 00676 unset($options['value']); 00677 } ...and these ones: 00695 if (isset($options['value']) && $value == $options['value']) { 00696 $options['checked'] = 'checked'; 00697 } elseif (!empty($value)) { 00698 $options['value'] = $value; 00699 } I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like specifying any value in the options would cause the checkbox to be checked as a result, is this right? At any rate, does anyone know the correct way to tell FormHelper that a 'yes' value being pulled out of the database should result in the checkbox being checked, while a 'no' value should result in it being unchecked? Many thanks for your help again everyone, Zoe. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
