Mark, you can set $displayField to a custom field that doesn't exist, and add it to your results in the model's afterFind callback.
class Person extends AppModel { var $displayField = 'name'; function afterFind($results) { // Loop thru results and insert ['name'] = ['first_name'] . ' ' . ['last_name'] } } Then you can use the 'name' field in generateList. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
