Re: Forms with multiple tables
Thanks, That worked.
I have one more question, is there a way I can tell it what field to
put in the select, right now it is using the field "name" and I would
like it to use the field "common_name" since as you can figure out
common name is what we call it, as apposed to the government assigned
name.

RE: Forms with multiple tables
Sorry last post sent in error
So you have your view with some fields in it, including your forign key -
here assuming farm_id
views/fields/add.ctp
create('Field')?>
input('name')?>
input('another')?>
input('yet_another')?>
input('farm_id')?>
end('Submit')?>
And in your controller action add ( as long as you have your association set
up correctly which we'll assume you do as you mention it)
controllers/fields_controller.php
function add(){
~
$this->set('farms', $this->Field->Farm->find('list'));
}
This will set values to your view that the form helper will automatically
pick up and set as the values of your Field.farm_id input - which will
become a select.

Subject: Forms with multiple tables
I am new to cakePHP and am in the process of learning to use it.
I am wondering how I can have a form element populated with elements
from a different table than the model, for example
I am wanting to write a farm manager using cakePHP as the framework,
if I have fields that belong to farms, when you create a new field I
want to be able to select from a list of farms, and have it link
(insert farm's id as a foreign key), I have currently setup my
belongsto relationship so I can view but I cannot add.
my original thought was to create a $options array and just loop
through the table, but I cannot do that if I do not have access to the
farms table.
Help!
