>> Hello!
>>
>> I have a table where the primary key, "id" is not autoincremented, but
>> is in fact a 6-digit "real" value. I want to give people the ability
>> to search and filter by ID and a few other fields like "budget_name".
>> I have implemented a filter component that I found (here:
>> http://blog.uplevel.pl/index.php/2008/06/cakephp-12-filter-component/)
>> and it all works well up to a point, but I am encountering problems
>> with the way forms helper works by default. I'll give 2 examples:
>>
>> If I add the following form bits to my index view:
>>
>> echo $form->create('Budgets',array('url'=>array('action'=>'index')));
>> echo $form->input('id');
>> echo $form->input('budget_name');
>> echo $form->end('Search');
>>
>> both inputs appear but neither are applied by the filter when I hit
>> search. So I got the notion to qualify each input with the model name
>> like so:
>>
>> echo $form->create('Budgets',array('url'=>array('action'=>'index')));
>> echo $form->input('Budget.id');
>> echo $form->input('Budget.budget_name');
>> echo $form->end('Search');
>>
>> Now I get 1 input for "budget_name" and searching/filtering works, but
>> the input for "id" no longer appears. I looked at the generated HTML
>> and the input for "id" is made hidden (as in this example):
>>
>> <!--
>> <form id="BudgetsAddForm" method="post" action="/app/budgets/index">
>> <fieldset style="display:none;"><input type="hidden" name="_method"
>> value="POST" /></fieldset>
>> <input type="hidden" name="data[Budget][id]" value="" id="BudgetId" />
>> <div class="input text"><label for="BudgetBudgetName">Budget Name</
>> label>
>> <input name="data[Budget][budget_name]" type="text" maxlength="30"
>> value="" id="BudgetBudgetName" /></div>
>> <div class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Search" /></div></
>> form>
>> -->
>>
>> So, am I right in assuming that forms helper handles "id" in this
>> conventional way (make it hidden) and is there a way to override this
>> without breaking general behavior of forms helper. I looked at the
>> 1.2 Cookbook and I only found a "hidden" method, no "unhidden" method.
