Re: Hierarchical Tree Setup
Thanks for the reply, for some reason when I tried the 'empty' option
it didn't work, hence my question here.
And thanks for the beforeSave() hint.

1) Do this in your view.
echo $form-input('Product.parent_id', array('options' = $categories,
'empty' = '-- Top Level --'));
You might need this in your model...
function beforeSave(){
if (isset($this-data[$this-alias]['parent_id'])
empty($this-data[$this-alias]['parent_id'])){
$this-data[$this-alias]['parent_id'] = null;
}
return true;
}
2) The Tree behaviour has generatetreelist() however it display likes
this:
Parent 1
_Child 1-1
_Child 1-2
Parent 2
_Child 2-1
_Child 2-2
__Subchild 2-2-1
I think you would need to create your own method to generate the data
in the format you wish.

default value of 0 - 'Top Level' without putting a 'Top Level' entry
in the table?
2- How can I get the select box to output in the following format?
-- Top Level --
Parent 1
Parent 1 :: Child 1-1
Parent 1 :: Child 1-2
Parent 2
Parent 2 :: Child 2-1
Parent 2 :: Child 2-2
Parent 2 :: Child 2-2 :: Subchild 2-2-1
etc.
where the tree is built in the order of the ids of the parents, then
the order of the idds of the children.
I can do this manually, but I'd like to know a 'Cake' way of doing it.
And if I must do this manually, how do I get it to play nice with the
$form-input method? If I need to at all?
Thanks for your help.

empty($this-
data[$this-alias]['parent_id'])){
$this-data[$this-alias]['parent_id'] = null;
}
return true;
