Hi,
I am wanting to add a new record where I have a form input and the user
types in the details of the new record in a form using cakePHP ( I cant
find anything in the cakePHP manual or google as yet).
I can do this already but I get too much information in the drop down list
in the form entry .
2 of the fields are foreign keys so the user needs to select the field
instead of typing them in.
I have simple case of student, teacher and tutor sessions where I am
entering in data on tutor session only. The user selects the existing
teacher and student name instead of typing them .
Now I dont get an error but the drop down list for student and teacher has
too much information like the name, id and the tablename.
I just want the name of student and teacher (only) to appear in the drop
down list of the add new form entry.
I do get the right information just too much.
yes i checked the manual on cake php
model
class Tutorsession extends AppModel
{
public $belongsTo = array(
'Teacher' => array(
'className' => 'Teacher',
'foreignKey' => 'teacher_id'
),
'Student' => array(
'className' => 'Student',
'foreignKey' => 'student_id'
),
);
controller////////////
public function add() {
$this->set( 'st',$this->Tutorsession->find('all', array('contain' =>
array('Student'),
'fields' => array('DISTINCT Student.firstname') )));
$this->set( 'te',$this->Tutorsession->find('all', array('contain' =>
array('Teacher'),
'fields' => array('DISTINCT Teacher.firstname') )));
view
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Tutorsession');
echo$this->Form->input('teacher_id', array('options' => $te));
echo$this->Form->input('student_id', array('options' => $st));
