It looks to me like the loop is something like this:
foreach ($values as $i => $value)
{
echo $form->checkbox(
'OnsiteTrainingClass.select_class'.$i,
array(
'id'=>'select'.$i,
'label'=>'',
'value'=> $value['OnsiteTrainingClass']['id']
)
);
}
Although, why the label is empty is another thing.
If the association is HABTM, you could probably get what you're after by doing:
$this->set(
'classes',
$this->YourModel->OnsiteTrainingClass->find('list')
);
echo $form->select(
'OnsiteTrainingClass.OnsiteTrainingClass',
$classes,
null,
array('multiple' => 'checkbox')
);
No, I don't know why the model name must be repeated.
Another situation is where you've got an unknown number of hasMany
items. For a Poll plugin I wrote, the form starts out with 4 empty
PollOption elements, and some JS allows for adding more or removing
some elemnts. This is the naming format used:
<?= $this->Form->input('PollOption.0.title', array('label' => false,
'class' => 'PollOption')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('PollOption.1.title', array('label' => false,
'class' => 'PollOption')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('PollOption.2.title', array('label' => false,
'class' => 'PollOption')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('PollOption.3.title', array('label' => false,
'class' => 'PollOption')) ?>
