Re: showEmpty?
You should only be using input().
echo $form-input('State', array('options' = array('NJ' = New
Jersey', 'NY' = 'New
York'), 'empty' = false));

RE: showEmpty?
I had a same / similar question for input selects which is related to this.
I have my echo $form-input('State'); which is populated by a find list...so
I have all my States. How can I add so first option to be Select your
State with no value? Right now Alabama shows up first and if a user does
not select a State Alabama is automatically saved.
$selected = array('option' = 'Select your State', 'value' = '0')?
Thanks,
Dave

Re: showEmpty?
Use array_unshift( $states, $selected) to insert an element at the
beginning of the $states array.
Enjoy,

Re: showEmpty?
I believe it's 'empty = 'Select your State'. If the param is false,
null, or the empty string, Cake outputs an empty option.

$form-input as dateTime wrapper doesn't map correctly the dateTime showEmpty option
Hi
I used the FormHelper $form-input() method to wrap a dateTime this
way:
echo $form-input('expire',array(
'type'='datetime',
'dateFormat' = 'DMY',
'timeFormat' = '24',
'selected' = null,
'attributes' = array(),
)
);
I read in the dateTime options that the default behaviour is to show
an empty default value (as showEmpty = true is the default), so I
didn't pass anything because I want an empty value. By the way if I
call it this way I get a default value in it.
So I tried to call the input() this way:
echo $form-input('expire',array(
'type'='datetime',
'dateFormat' = 'DMY',
'timeFormat' = '24',
'selected' = null,
'attributes' = array(),
'showEmpty' = true
)
);
but the result was the same. Looking inside the input() method I found
that to get an empty default value you should set the empty option,
which is set to false per default. Finally calling it with...
echo $form-input('expire',array(
'type'='datetime',
'dateFormat' = 'DMY',
'timeFormat' = '24',
'selected' = null,
'attributes' = array(),
'empty' = true
)
);
... gives me the desired result. I think that the mapping between the
options in the input() method and the options in the dateTime() method
should be consistent to avoid people to look inside the code to
discover the correct mapping.

Re: passing showEmpty from $form-input to a select

Hi All :-)
Cake 1.2.0.6311 beta
I am using the following code to create a drop down select box for a
field in a view:
echo $form-input('institution_id',array(label=Institution *,
class=input, div=input mandatory, selected=$preSelect-
select(institution_id)));
($preSelect is a custom helper that pre-selects an item from the list
if it is present in the URL)
As it stands, this code creates a drop down list as expected, but
doesn't include an empty option.
How do I get it to show an empty option at the top of the list (or
better yet a 'Please Select...' option)?
I've dug through the form helper code and I though this would work:
echo $form-input('institution_id',array(label=Institution *,
class=input, div=input mandatory, selected=$preSelect-
select(institution_id)),null,null,Please Select);
and
echo $form-input('institution_id',array(label=Institution *,
class=input, div=input mandatory, selected=$preSelect-
select(institution_id), showEmpty=Please Select...));
but try as I might, I can't get $form-input() to pass the Please
Select message through to $form-select()
Oddly enough, the $input-select() code should default to providing an
empty select code ($showEmpty = '') if non is specified, so $form-
input() must be passing in false to stop this from happening.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance :-)
