Re: changing Form input's contents from their default 'value'

2013-04-03 Thread Vinicius Dusso
Hi Robert,

You should configure this in your Model. There is an attribute named 
$displayField which you can set the name from the column that actually 
represents the name of your register.

Take a look at this link fore more information:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/model-attributes.html#displayfield

Regards,

Vinicius

changing Form input's contents from their default 'value'

2013-04-02 Thread Robert Denomme
Say I have a hasOne relationship between two Models, for instance Recipe 
hasOne User. If I set up the data (recipes contains a user_id field) and 
bake I will see a beautiful user id drop-down menu in the recipe add 
screen. The problem is that it displays the user_id, and not a bunch of 
usernames! Can I change this?

For reference, here is some relevant code, and the html it outputs,
//Views/add.ctp
...
echo $this->Form->input('user_id');

which produces the following html:


12
...


The html I would prefer would be more like...

Thanks for any help!
