Somehow, this seems on the right track, but I couldn't get things to
work. Played around with a lot of different variations, but
*something* is not quite kosher, yet.
Thanks much for the guidance thus far.
Should the entire
$data = $this->Model->getListData(); // a function in your model that
does
the custom query to pull the three fields you wnat to use
$mylist = array();
foreach ($data as $item){
$mylist[$data['Model']['field1]] = $data['Model']['field2] . '-' .
$data['Model']['field3];
}
be in the Model?
And the this->set in the controller?
Sorry for my blatant stupidity. Wrapping what I know of php up with
Cake is proving to be troublesome, at best. The masterbake script
provides such a sweet basic framework that a bit of pain getting
things 'just right' is worth it, but this one thing is really killing
me... ; )
