Folks,
I have a newbie question:
I have a form that has certain inputs that just need to be ignored.
For example a User may be associated (e.g. via HABTM) with a
particular City
The City may be associated with a State but I don't need an
association between State and User.
When I show the registration form, I want to use AJAX to show you a
list of states and once you select a state show you the list of cities
to avoid an overly-long list of cities. But when the form is submitted
I don't want Cake to try to save the state since there's no direct
association between user and state.
Is there a magic setting in the form input to keep it from being set?
Or do I have to handle it and null it out in the controller?
Model::save() strips them out for you by first checking for it in the
schema using hasField(). If it's not present, it's tossed out.
http://api.cakephp.org/view_source/model/
1307 foreach ($v as $x = $y) {
1308if ($this-hasField($x) (empty($this-whitelist) ||
in_array($x, $this-whitelist))) {
1309list($fields[], $values[]) = array($x, $y);
1310}
1311}
The $whitelist there is used for when there are fields which do belong
to the model but, for whatever reason, you don't want to save their
values if present in the data. In that case, you'd pass an array of
the ones you DO want written to the DB as the 3rd param to save();

Re: How to keep Cake from trying to save certain form inputs ?
Thanks for your help cricket!
Something else might be going on as it seems to break unless I clear
those values out.
I'll try to do some more debugging but this definitely gives me a
clue.
I really appreciate your help.
