I have 4 groups of Service Areas in a HABTM relationship with Firm
Profiles.
My controller :
if ($step == 'step3') {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->set('before',$this->data);
if
($this->Firm->FirmProfile->saveAll($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Data
Saved', true));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Data Not
Saved', true));
}
}
$this->set('regulationsAndMarkets',
$this->Firm->FirmProfile-
>ServiceAreaType->find('list',array('conditions'=>array(
'service_area_id'=>3)
)));
$this->set('ghgInventories', $this->Firm->FirmProfile-
>ServiceAreaType->find('list',array('conditions'=>array(
'service_area_id'=>1)
)));
$this->set('technologyAndEquipment',
$this->Firm->FirmProfile-
>ServiceAreaType->find('list',array('conditions'=>array(
'service_area_id'=>4)
)));
$this->set('industryExperience',
$this->Firm->FirmProfile-
>ServiceAreaType->find('list',array('conditions'=>array(
'service_area_id'=>2)
)));
$firm_data = $this->Session->read('data'); // Read firm
data from
session
$this->set('firm_id',$firm_data['Firm']['id']); // Set
variable
firm_id for lookups
$this->set('firm_data',$firm_data); // Set firm_data
view array
with data from session
}
My view:
<?php echo $form->create('Firm.FirmProfile',array('url'=>array
('controller'=>'firms','action'=>'add'.'/step3')));?>
<fieldset>
<legend>Regulations and Markets</legend>
<?php echo $form->input('ServiceAreaType.ServiceAreaType',array
('options'=>
$regulationsAndMarkets,'label'=>'','multiple'=>'checkbox'));?>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>GHG Inventories</legend>
<?php echo $form->input('ServiceAreaType.ServiceAreaType',array
('options'=>$ghgInventories,'label'=>'','multiple'=>'checkbox'));?>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Technology and Equipment</legend>
<?php echo $form->input('ServiceAreaType.ServiceAreaType',array
('options'=>
$technologyAndEquipment,'label'=>'','multiple'=>'checkbox'));?>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Industry experience and expertise</legend>
<?php echo $form->input('ServiceAreaType.ServiceAreaType',array
('options'=>$industryExperience,'label'=>'','multiple'=>'checkbox'));?
>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $form->input('FirmProfile.id',array('value'=>$firm_data
['FirmProfile']['id'],'type'=>'hidden'));?>
<?php echo $form->end('Continue');?>
Basically, I want the user to be able to select multiple items within
each different group, and have the HABTM relationships added when
doing so. Right now, only the last group is saving. I have found out
that this has something to do with the fact that you cannot POST
multiple select groups with the same Name, and cake is creating the
following HTML with this code:
<form id="FirmProfileEditForm" method="post" action="/theclimatepages/
firms/add/step3/32"><fieldset style="display:none;"><input
type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT" /></fieldset>

I know this is a lot of code to wade through, but I'm at a brick wall
and would definitely appreciate any wisdom! Thanks so much.
