Don't take it personally, I never do.

What do you need the data to look like?

find('list') is generally used when you want to create a list of
entries for a form select field.

I think you need to go to http://book.cakephp.org and read through it
so you understand what you might be doing wrong.

list for me which was not what i wanted to do. Every time I try to

Don't compact the data. Are you sure you want to be doing a
find('list')? That's usually used for creating lists.

find('list') in view - noob problem

2008-06-06 Thread Rich

I'm having a problem reading data in my view from my controller.

this is in my controller:
$user  = $this->Profile->Users->find('list');
$this->set(compact('users');

in my view I need to use a hidden control to pass this data on to the
next controller but I can't get the value to display in the $form-
>hidden control.

this is my view:
hidden('users_id'); ?>

my debug shows this:
Array
(
 [users] => Array
   (
   [8] => 8
)
)

I guess i could use a session but I wanted to find out how this is
done and what I'm doing wrong before I move on to better options.

Thanks,
Rich
