Re: default value for selectbox overrides posted data
Thank you for your answers.
Using 'default' => value in the array does not work,
it looks like this is not used for selectboxes
I'll just set the default value in the controller.

Re: default value for selectbox overrides posted data
Instead of forcing a selected item in the view like that, you should
provide a default value in your controller.
either:
$this->data['Model']['fieldname'] = 'default';
or:
$this->Model->create();
$this->data = $this->Model->data;
This second one will get the default values as specified by your
database table. Of course, only do either of these where you are not
loading an existing row, and not re-showing the posted data.

default value for selectbox overrides posted data
Hi here
I have a few selectboxes where the default value is not the first
option.
Thus I provide an option 'selected', e.g.
$this->Form->input('Model.fieldname', array('options' => range(0, 23),
'selected' => 7))
The problem is that when I submit the form and get it back with $this-
>data being set the selectboxes are still set to the default value,
not to the value set in $this->data.
As a quick workaround I have changed the code in FormHelper::select
but I am wondering whether I am just missing the correct way to use
the select helper.
I use Cake 1.2
Thanks for any tips
Claudia
