All right, I hate to say this but I still can't get it to work. When
I call $types in the view, it gives me this error: Notice (8):
Undefined variable: types [APP\views\companies\add.ctp, line 24]
I followed the instructions, and I've experimented with $types = $this-
>Company->CompanyType->find('list'); in the CompaniesController and
various other things but it just isn't working. I'm sure I'm just
missing something obvious again. Help?
