Something that I ran across from updating CakePHP v1.1 to CakePHP v1.2 Beta for forms is that quite a few things changed and I wanted to continue to show all of the fields the database has as they are added without having to modify my views or controllers.
For the View: - Form::generateFields was renamed to Form::inputs with some nice additions to it. - Html::submit was moved to Form::submit. For Controllers: - Controller::generateFieldNames was removed completely. This is no longer "needed" as Form::inputs function will check the database and build the variables that is required to create the form if they are missing. So now all you need is the list of fields that Controller::generateFieldNames to be sent to the view like it used to have. You can get a list of the field names by using either Model::getColumnTypes or Model::schema to get the key values set into an array to be sent to Form::inputs in the view. You'll want to have the format something like this: $fields = array( 'id' => array(), 'name' => array() ); Another thing to note, is that Form::inputs will create the fieldset and legend fields for you so you no longer have to create them yourselves (if you did). You can set the text for the legend by having the key value of "legend" to the list of your field names. I hope this helps some people out. If someone has found a better way to do this please let me know! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
