Re: Format Array
Sorry about that John, I'm not quite with it today ... i'm a bit under the
weather.
This is the part of the view for the search.
$form-input('country', array(
'label' = '',
'type' = 'select',
'empty' = '-- Select --',
'selected' = $this-Session-read('Auth.User.country')
)
)
$ajax-observeField('SearchCountry', array(
'url' = array(
'action' = 'getRegion'
),
'frequency' = 0.1,
'update' = 'displayRegion'
)
)
Upon 'onchange' event the selected country id is passed to the controller
where it queries a new list of regions for that country.
The controller passes the array of regions to a separate view (perhaps could
have done this differently?) where a new select element is populated with
the array of regions.
$form-input('Search.region', array(
'label' = '',
'type' = 'select',
'options' = $region
)
);
The 'region' select element in the search form sits inside a div and is
overwritten by the above element.
The new select element is getting passed into the search form as $this-data
which makes sense but it's also remaining
that way when the form submits.
So now with using GET the form submits as
[minAge] = 31
[maxAge] = 41
[country] = Chile
[data] = Array
(
[Search] = Array
(
[region] = Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins
)
)
I straightened out the array once the form is received by the
controller but the form has already submitted at that point and it
leaves my url
looking like country=Chiledata[Search][region]= on the results
page. I still utilize the data from url on the results page so
data[Search][region]= is throwing it off especially if the user sorts
the data and the url switches back to region= as it was originally
intended.
I feel like this didn't help any 8-), let me know if I'm still being too vague.

Re: Format Array
Thanks Ed :)
Ok, off the top of my head - I see that every other form field you
specify as:
[code]
$form-input('fieldname', ...);
[/code]
Note, you use only the fieldname without the modelname.
But for the region, you attach Search as the modelname! Have you tried
to remove it?
Does the region view (the one which is returned using Ajax) only
contain the form field without having a form create and end?
What does the HTML look like, when the region is first populated after
you choose a country? Is it defined as:
[code]
... name=data[Search][region] ...
[/code]
You have to make it look like the other fieldnames! (I assume they
differ!)
Enjoy,
John

Re: Format Array
I removed the model name (Search) from the field(s) and the result was the
same ... minus [Search] in the array (obviously).
All the field names are now uniform with both the search view and the ajax
view.
The region view (returned) via ajax simply echoes the region field and that
is all.
I didn't see the need for a form create or end.
If I follow you correctly on the HTML thing, when the page initially loads
the HTML is as you would expect select name=region id=SearchRegion
or I am not following you on that one?
At first I was inclined to think that it had something to do with the Ajax,
but now I just confused 8-) Even though the (ajax) region is submitting with
the rest of the form ($this-params) it's still being treated as it's own
element which makes sense because it started off as it's own element and was
introduced to the form after the fact. Does that make any sense?
The reason I made the comment in my earlier post about going about this
differently is because if I was able to pass back an array of new regions
and reload the existing region field with that array instead of passing back
a whole new form element (region), I'm thinking none of this would be an
issue.
I guess I need to play around some more because there must be a way to do
that. Cake has been quite the learning experience 8-)

Re: Format Array
Good luck Ed, hope someone else can give you some better advice! I unfortunately haven't played around with Ajax as much, so can't shed any light on the issue!

Format Array
I have a dropdown in one of my searches that is populated via ajax.
