Re: CakePHP 1.3 Form Helper creating drop down and not input field
This works for:
echo $form->input
But not:
echo $this->Form->inputs
Any way it will work with the latter?

Re: CakePHP 1.3 Form Helper creating drop down and not input field
The "'type' => 'text'" worked, thanks Jeremy! I wanted all to be
inputs. Perfect.

Re: CakePHP 1.3 Form Helper creating drop down and not input field
Exactly what Jeremy said. I actually ran into this problem yesterday,
I resolved it by just putting "type" => "text".
Sometimes I love Cakes automagic-ness, sometimes it can be quite
annoying.

Re: CakePHP 1.3 Form Helper creating drop down and not input field
The form helper will automatically create a drop down is there is a variable
that is a plural of a field name without it's '_id' at the end.
For example, if you set a variable called $towns in your controller populated
by $this->Town->find('list'); and then have a form input called town_id, Cake
will link them up and make a drop down called town_id populated with the
contents of the $towns array.
I can only presume that you have one such variable that matches a field name,
and the rest don't.
What is your desired outcome? Should they all be drop downs (in which case
you'll need to set the array variables in your controller) or should they all
be inputs (in which case you should add the 'type' => 'text' option to your
form input).

CakePHP 1.3 Form Helper creating drop down and not input field
I have a database table that contains child records of another table and want users to be able to change those child records. The form helper is doing something strange. I have it loop through my fields which are varchar, and for some reason one field is creating a select drop down, all others an input. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Portion of my view: echo $form->input($somestring['MyTableName']['fieldname'], array( 'div' => false, 'label' => $somestring['MyTableName'] ['fieldname_text'], 'before' => '', 'between' => ': *', 'after' => '', 'size' => 65, 'default' => $somestring['MyTableName']['setting'] )); Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
