I'm using CakePHP 2.4.9
In my application I want to have a readonly field where I display data
which cannot be changed. E.g., a persons country: there is a hidden field
with the country ID and a readonly text field with the countries name. The
user can see the persons country but is not able to change it. So I do in
the edit.ctp
$this->Form->input('Person.country_id', array('type' => 'hidden', ...));
$this->Form->input(null, array('type' => text, 'value' => 'Country',
'readonly' => 'readonly', ...)
The expected outcome is that only the data of the hidden field are posted
on submit but not the data of the readonly field.
But what I have is that both fields have the name '[Person][country_id]'
and both fields are part of the submit data.
Is there a way to format such informative readonly fields like any other
form data, but not include them in the form data on submit?
In the FormHelper I see that the setEntity does not change _entityPath if
the $fieldName parameter is null, it just remains what it was before. Is
that intended?
I can, of course, use an invalid model. e.g.
$this->Form->input('Invalid.country', ...)
But that looks like an ugly hack to me.
