Hi Miles,
Thanks for your needful help.
But currently i am developing company product through pure cakephp
1.2 standards and i have to follow its conventions during whole
development cycle.
currently i have created multiple check boxes using $form->select()
with 'multiple'=>'checkbox' options.
For these reasons, i have three alternate for this solution in which
i will prevent to generate these hidden controls while displaying
multiple check boxes as below:
(1) First way is pass extra boolean parameter say $showHidden=true /
false
based on above parameter i will hide line no#: 1190 from file
cake library helper "form.php".
this line is executed from "select" Function.
(2) Second way is that in same file "form.php" and "select" Function
on line No: 1187,
the variable $style get its value based on 'multiple' key and
value attributes if it is 'checkbox' then stored same value otherwise
null.
so i can use this $style variable as conditional variable for
generating hidden control or not.
Means instead line no: 1190 as below:
$select[] = $this->hidden(null, array('value' => '', 'id' => null,
'secure' => false));
i will change it as below:
if($style!='checkbox'){
$select[] = $this->hidden(null, array('value' => '', 'id' =>
null, 'secure' => false));
}
(3) Third way is alternate way of above but in different way.
If we don't want any changes directly to "select" Function of
Form.php library helper file, Then
- Just copy this "select" Function and Paste Above or below this
function.
- Now, rename this function from "select" To say it "selectMultiple
( )" function.
- Then, put/change above line no:1190 with a condition of $style as
displayed on 2nd way.
i can apply any of one among above alternatives through this way it
will not auto generate hidden for multiple check boxes and post values
with correct array that i want.
But even though i think this not standard way that i should follow.
so please let me know your ideas....
Best Regards,
Keyur Vaghani.
