 Hello,

 In 1.2, I tried this:

 ?php echo $form-input('id');?

 It generates a *hidden* input field when the filed is the primary key:

input type=hidden name=data[Player][id] value=
 id=PlayerId /

 Looking at FormHelper::input() code it is obviously done on purpose
 but there's no comment indicating why.

 This forces us to name the field differently and and write a mapping
 in the controller.

Why would you do that? Why would you want your primary key to be
editable in a form?

Sounds like a great way to end up with orphaned and redundant data in
the database ;)

 Try ?php echo $form-input('id', array('type'='text');?

Thanks, it worked.

Why does $form-:input(id) set the field as hidden?

2007-07-18 Thread gmarziou

Hello,

In 1.2, I tried this:

?php echo $form-input('id');?

It generates a *hidden* input field when the filed is the primary key:

   input type=hidden name=data[Player][id] value=
id=PlayerId /

Looking at FormHelper::input() code it is obviously done on purpose
but there's no comment indicating why.

This forces us to name the field differently and and write a mapping
in the controller.

Thanks for clarifying,

Gael

Thats because it is presumed that most people will use it as hidden (and
probably do)

Try ?php echo $form-input('id', array('type'='text');?
