Re: Making radio button labels clickable part deux...can someone pls explain why the example in book 1.3 isn't doing what it says...??
I tried most of your code and all generated labels are clickable. So, I'm not sure what is your actual issue is. Maybe you're outputting inputs for the same field more than once?

Re: Rudeness (was: Re: Making radio button labels clickable)
I guess the main problem with this list is the lack of "modern" post markup. With too much code as "plain text" it gets really hard to read and comprehend. I start to think that a google group is not the right board for code related issues. at least consider the possibility to post your issue at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cakephp you could still re-link it here or sth. but "foreign" links (pastebin,...) are still links outside of this context, can be unreachable etc. so that's not ideal, either. the group is perfect for more general topics or with only a few lines of code. but other than that it is not really made for developers (especially web developers). as for the rudeness: 99% of all questions asked in a appropriate way get an appropriate answer. I sometimes catch myself writing a little bit too rude and regret this some time later on. But in the heat of the moment I am asking myself "How can someone have such a lack of communication skills and common sense" if he posts sth like "HELP ME. Please program me a messaging plugin. thank you". It's annoying - to all of those. Yes, its a good practice to test your own "patience" with this patient. But sometimes its just too annoying. I am certainly not saying that rudeness of a thread starter should be treated with rudeness. But it is not only the fault of administrators or contributors - the thread starter has a show a certain respect for the group and the members of it, as well. and this is most certainly not always the case. As I said: A serious and good outlines question (that also shows that you at least tried to come up with a solution yourself for trivial issues) has always been treated as one. As far as I remember the last years. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Rudeness (was: Re: Making radio button labels clickable)
Disagree. For starters - rather than creating a new thread by changing the subject, why didn't you just reply in the existing thread? I had to go back and take a look at what you were talking about. Secondly the responses in that thread don't look rude at all. Helpful suggestions for getting helpful responses (keep it brief, use pastebin etc). I've always gotten helpful, quick responses to questions - even when my questions have been borderline moronic. That said people are volunteers, and are busy - so they are entitled to be frustrated when people do silly things (like respond directly to people via mail, repeat questions that have been answered dozens of times etc). I've been on far less helpful lists (lists which are moderated - asking a simple question never even makes it to the list. Simple questions getting asked because of poor documentation never ever get answered). Don't confuse short, sharp, to the point responses as "rudeness". People don't often have the time to reply to responses with essays...

Re: Making radio button labels clickable?
Thanks Ryan, I did wonder that before posting my issue yesterday...I
previously prefixed the 1 and 2 with 'reply', so the ids were reply1
and reply2, but to no avail... the code is below, the only change
being the prefix of 'reply' in the array creation. Please note, I've
reverted to the actual reply codes for male and female, 2520 and 2530
respectively, in place of 1 and 2, because I'm a little bemused by the
id cake has now given the inputs (see a little lower), guessing they
depend on the values in the $options array somehow? Where does the Pl
of MemberGenderPl come from? And why?:
$options = array();
$c = 0;
while ($c < count($question['Reply'])) {
$options['reply'.$question['Reply'][$c]['id']] = $question['Reply']
[$c]['value'];
$c++;
}
echo $this->Form->input($question['Question']['name'], array(
'type' => 'radio',
'class' => 'list required',
'options' => $options
));
For info, the $options array looks like this after it's created:
Array ( [reply2520] => Male [reply2530] => Female )
This gives me:
Male
Female
Obviously I can see that the $options array value reply2520 and
reply2530 are now set as the value of the inputs.
What I'm trying to achieve (with the real values of 2520 and 2530
instead of 1 and 2, and non-numeric ids) is this:
Male
Female
Any further help would be great...I just want the ux to be correct, by
the labels being clickable :/. This kind of thing is absolutely
straightforward without using cake $this->Form->input(s), but then I
lose the benefit of the save functionality etc...and I really wanna
get to the bottom of this. Loving cake in all respects except this.
Still think the issue is in the array - any advice anyone please?? I'm
thinking should the array read something like:
Array ( Array( [id] => reply2520, [value] => Male, [for] =>
reply2520), Array( [id] => reply2530, [value] => Female, [for] =>
reply2530) )
but tried various versions of this without getting there...pretty sure
'for' is not correct for instance...etc etc. Tried lots of things
prior to posting here...and checked all documentation and other user's
issues etc, but no definitive answer, Surely it can't be that tricky?
Flummoxed...
Thanks in advance...
