I understand. But as to our reply;
The problem is not multiple checkboxes themselves. That I have,
I have added an additional field to my HABTM, so where I have currently
have my multiple checkboxes, instead if display them as cake spits them out
in a chunk of checkbox checkbox...... I need to add my additional input
field between each checkbox.
$selections is the list of select checkbox options to choose from then the
year input to add their years of experience.
<?php foreach ($selections as $key => $name)
{
echo $form->checkbox('Skill.Skill.', array('id' =>
'SkillSkill'.$key, 'value' => $key));
echo $form->input('Skill.Skill.' .$key. '.year', array('label' =>
'Years Experience:', 'class' => 'text'));
}
?>
So on a form it would be:
checkbox and then my newly added field to my HABTM
checkbox and then my newly added field to my HABTM
checkbox and then my newly added field to my HABTM
And so on.
Not checkbox, checkbox, checkbox
Field field field
Its not the styling of the checkboxes. I need loop thru each of the $list
an manually create a checkbox element and my field since there is no way get
my additional field for every checkbox
But the checkboxes are never filled. I have dummydata in the db and another
form to reference the code from.
That’s what I was asking help with. Re-populationfg the checkbox data
Thanks
Dave

going with the hasMany belongsTo ideas as mentioned in the cookbook and that
was a disaster. I am just stumped to the fact that that not 1 person has any
ideas! The guys who wrote the entire cake code, the contributors, the
community. I have stumped everyone?

response to the question i guess not 1 singlebaker in the community as large
a this has ever toyed with the idea.
two things.
firstly your answer
<?php
echo
$form->input('ModelName',array('label'=>'label','type'=>'select',
'multiple'=>'checkbox')); ?>
Adding multiple checkbox to your input array will provide checkboxes where
you might have had a multiple select.
secondly - I appreciate you have a problem but you can't blame list
subscribers for not giving you an answer. Especially if you post it on a
friday. I cant imagine many people have been following this list over the
weekend instead they are christmas shopping and getting merry.
In the future, also ensure your subject is relevant. '3 days and not 1
person has any idea' doesn't describe a problem that anyone reading email
titles would look at.
Searching for 'cakephp multiple checkbox' on google found this result on the
