function getListData($data){
$data = $this->Model->query("SELECT Model1.field1 as `Model1`,`field1` ,
Model1.field2 as `Model1`,`field2` , Model2.field1 as `Model2`,`field1`
FROM `bars` as Model1, `barbars` as Model2, WHERE `Model2`.`barbar_id` =
`Model1`.`id`");
}
$listdata = array();
foreach ($data as $item) {
$listdata[$data['Model1']['field1'] = $data['Model1']['field1'] . '-'
. $data['Model2']['field1'];
}
return $listdata;
}
and later, in the 'add' function:
$this->set('listdata', $this->Model->getListData());
In the view:
echo $html->selectTag("Player/team", $teamsportlist);
Not tested but should work.
