Although I can think of no real reason to have a seconds selection,
except for maybe putting in a speed record :)
...
Your quickest solution is:
First copy your cake/lib/view/helpers/html.php file to your app/view/
helpers/ directory.
This allows you to override the default functionality provided with
the basic cake install
Next, edit/modify your file app/view/helpers/html.php
Add the following function to the class deffiniton:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Returns a SELECT element for seconds.
*
* @param string $tagName Prefix name for the SELECT element
* @param string $selected Option which is selected.
* @param array $optionAttr Attribute array for the option elements.
* @return mixed
* @access public
*/
function secondOptionTag($tagName, $selected =null,
$selectAttr = null, $optionAttr = null, $showEmpty = true) {
if (empty($selected) && ($this->tagValue($tagName))) {
$selected = date('s', strtotime($this-
>tagValue($tagName)));
}
$secValue = empty($selected) ? ($showEmpty ? NULL :
date('s')) : $selected;
for ($secCount = 0; $secCount < 60; $secCount++) {
$secs[sprintf('%02d', $secCount)] =
sprintf('%02d', $secCount);
}
$option = $this->selectTag($tagName . "_sec", $secs,
$secValue, $selectAttr, $optionAttr, $showEmpty);
return $option;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can then add the following to your views:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?PHP echo $html->secondOptionTag('speed'); ?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem with this is that you have to remember to update your
html.php when if you change your cake version.
A better longer term solution is:
Create the file 'show_seconds.php' in your app/view/helpers/
directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* helper seconds to give kionae a seconds select.
*/
if (!defined('SHOW_SECONDS_DEFFINITION'))
{
define('SHOW_SECONDS_DEFFINITION', 1);
class ShowSecondsHelper extends Helper
{
var $helpers = array('Html');
/**
* Returns a SELECT element for seconds.
*
* @param string $tagName Prefix name for the SELECT element
* @param string $selected Option which is selected.
* @param array $optionAttr Attribute array for the option elements.
* @return mixed
* @access public
*/
function select($tagName, $selected =null, $selectAttr = null,
$optionAttr = null, $showEmpty = true)
{
if (empty($selected) && ($this->tagValue($tagName)))
{
$selected = date('s', strtotime($this-
>tagValue($tagName)));
}
$secValue = empty($selected) ? ($showEmpty ? NULL :
date('s')) : $selected;
for ($secCount = 0; $secCount < 60; $secCount++)
{
$secs[sprintf('%02d', $secCount)] = sprintf('%02d',
$secCount);
}
$option = $this->Html->selectTag($tagName . "_sec", $secs,
$secValue, $selectAttr, $optionAttr, $showEmpty);
return $option;
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Include this in your controler's $helpers array as in:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class MyControler extends AppController
{
var $helpers = ('ShowSeconds', 'Html', ... );
...
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invoke in your views with this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?PHP echo $showSeconds->tag('speed'); ?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
