Hi, I'm a new cake user...
I have this table ddl
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `people` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`pob` varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
`dob` date NOT NULL,
`address` text NOT NULL,
`created` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
when I try to create a view using a form helper, I hope that the form will
be populated automatically according to field type (text field type for name
and pob, datetime for dob, etc). Here's my view add.ctp:
<h1>Add Person</h1>
<?
echo $form->create('Person');
echo $form->input('name');
echo $form->input('pob');
//echo $form->select('state', array($states));
echo $form->input('dob');
echo $form->input('address');
echo $form->end('Save');
?>
and here's my people_controller
class PeopleController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Persons';
//var $uses = array('State');
function add() {
/*$states = $this->State->find('list', array ('fields' => array
('name',
'name')));
$this->set('states',$states);*/
debug($this->data);
}
The form displays correctly (form fields are displayed according to the
field type in db table). But as I use another model (State) in the
controller above by uncommenting this line of code:
var $uses = array('State');
in the controller, the dob form field is wrongly displayed as text, not
datetime field type..
Can I say that the ability of form helper to autopopulate the form fields
correctly only happen when we use default model ? Because when I include
another model in the form, it breaks ..
Thanks for any comment..
