Ok, here's a few things to help you: First, that view function of yours belongs in a helper. You should never define functions inside a view template.
>From an HTML point of view, there are 2 ways of defining label/input relationships. You can either embed the input inside the label, which makes the relationship obvious, or declare a unique ID for the input, which is referenced by the label using the `for` attribute. This id must be unique throughout the page. The most usual approach is the second one. For the data to be sent and received properly to/by cake, each radio element (`<input>`) must have a name attribute and a value attribute. In this case, all of the name attributes should be the same, and each value attribute should be set to the corresponding id of the category. Anyway, here's a helper for you: http://pastie.org/355620 And here's sample usage with a dummy dataset: http://pastie.org/355621 The output html is valid, neatly indented and should work fine with cake's data handling. I'm using the element id and `for` approach here, because the other way is too easy. (Plus I never use it because it wreaks havoc with my stylesheets) hth grigri On Jan 8, 5:09 am, "Jon Bennett" <jmbenn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a category system, parent/child, which I'm trying to create a > nested group of radio inputs for. > > So far I havehttp://pastie.org/355368which outputshttp://pastie.org/355369- > if anyone has experience of working with > this type of dataset and could offer some advice I'd appreciate it. > > BTW it doesn't use the tree behaviour, I had issues with > auto-populating the data in one go, as there's 405 categories, for > some reason I got quite a few errors which screwed the tree and no > matter what i tried it was irretree-vial ;) > > Thanks, > > Jon > > -- > > jon bennett > w:http://www.jben.net/ > iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
