Hi Adam, I have done both the find() (eg $referrers = $this->User->Referrer- >find('list', array('fields' => array('id','first_name','last_name')));) and the $displayField.
For this particular form relating to the user, i track their referral source and type (eg, Adam Royle, CakeConvention (both belongsTo)) and a relationship they have with any entities (director of SleekGeek, consultant to BondsAustralia (HABTM)). Using the $displayField (and even if i could get afterFind() to work), I dont know how to use it for each view (redeclare $displayField). Looking at my my view and index views, i am extracting all the data I need its just a matter of being able to display it in the add and edit views in the options for a drop down select. Not bagging the efforts of others, but the documentation is limited and all the examples I have found use some deprecated call, function etc.. How would you code a drop down select box?? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
