Hey guys,
I am looking for some help on prepopulating a select form helper and setting a default selected value using Cake1.2. I have seen solutions but they are all in Cake1.1 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is what I have so far: Controller code: -------------------------------------------------------------- function edit($id = null) { //ensure user has logged in $this->checkSession(); $this->ProjectUpdate->id = $id; if (empty($this->data)) { $this->data = $this->ProjectUpdate->read(); // **** Using this to populate the select form helper ******* $projectNames = $this->ProjectUpdate->Project->find('list', array ('fields' => 'Project.name', 'order' => 'Project.name ASC')); $this->set('projectNames', $projectNames); } else { if ($this->ProjectUpdate->save($this->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('Your project has been updated.'); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index/1')); } } } View code --------------------------------------------------- echo $form->select('Project.id', $projectNames, null, null, false); Thanks guys I appreciate the assistance!
