Hi,
I hope someone can shed some light on this, it's driving me crazy. I have a
multiple select list with options generated from a database. The problem is
that the select name is being set, incorrectly, as follows:
name="data[Server][brand][]"
When it should be:
name="data[Server][brand]"
This is causing problems as when an option is selected it displays in the
URL as '.../brand[0]:Dell' which in turn throws of my search plugin as it's
expecting '.../brand:Dell'. In my view the select box code is as follows:
echo $this->Form->create('Server', array('url' => array('action' =>
'find'), $this->params['pass']));
echo $this->Form->input('brand', array(
'type' => 'select',
'options' => $serverBrand,
'multiple' => 'multiple',
));
With the options being generated in the controller, like so:
$serverBrand = Set::extract('/Server/brand', $this->Server->find('all',
array(
'fields' => array('DISTINCT Server.brand', 'Server.brand'),
'recursive' => -1
)));
$serverBrand = array_combine($serverBrand, $serverBrand);
$this->set('serverBrand', $serverBrand);
The array_combine is necessary in order for the select box to insert the
correct value in the URL, I've tried commenting this out but the above
problem still persists. I need a way to either customize the select name,
or preferably fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
