Hi winter,
If you have a field called 'name' or 'title' in the Item table (which
I'm guessing is the case from the schema you gave above), try using:
$items = $this->Item->find('list');
$this->set(compact('items'));.
If your field isn't called 'name' or 'title', then you can set the
$displayField variable in the Item model for whatever field name you
use to identify the items. This should be enough for cake to
automagically populate the form input on your view pages (if you are
using the form helper, of course).
-Joel.
