Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
I'm pretty sure someone wrote a behavior to handle this, perhaps the Alias behaviour? Look in the bakery... On Oct 5, 7:42 am, David C.

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
This should be taken care of by your view.
You'd do something like this in your form:
?php echo $form-input('name_en_gb', array('label' = __('name', true)));
?
Good Luck!

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
If you mean display to the user I don't see where the problem is. If you're talking about scaffolding, just make a proper view. If you mean change internally it's more hassle than it's worth IMHO. Can you clarify a bit what you want to do and where you're stuck?

hi, Thank you, I have a cakephp application, the product model has the 'name' field, and all the codes, that is the controller, view, call that field as 'name'. but right now the product table in the database which has the field 'name' has been changed to 'name_en_gb', I am wondering, is there any small change in the model I can do such that it will read the 'name_en_gb' field in the product table in the database, but at the code level, the view, controller, etc can access it using the 'name' field.

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
You should really look into changing the variable name in the code. With searchreplace this may be the best option. Otherwise, you could do that in the model with the afterFind callback. Just copy the field: $model['name'] = $model['name_en_gb']; But you're setting yourself up for all kinds of problems with this, as you'll have to convert back and forth between the database and application.
