I have an events table which has event_name as one of the fields. The
value for this field is restricted (has to be a value from a set of
values, like 'Birthday', 'Anniversary', etc). So it is better to have
a dropdown instead of textbox in the views (add & edit).
Since these are not part of any table, I cannot use generateList in
the controller. So I used the below code in the controller.
$event_names = array('1'=>'Birthday', '2'=>'Anniversary', /*... etc...
*/);
$this->set(compact('event_names'));
I am using the below code for event_name field in the views.
echo $form->input('event_name');
This works for add and dropdown appears. But in edit, the dropdown
does not automatically select the proper value according to the value
of event_name from the database.
Is there something I am missing?
