You could.... make your own helper... based or extending on the FormHelper that doesn't need to be model backed. Though there are ways around (or to work within that limitation) making models that are not DB backed for one, there are other 'tricks' as well. The thing is the time you make a decision to deviate from the expectations and conventions of the design of CakePHP is the time you have to be willing to dig into the code, search around, and to think on your own. It really is not that hard and CakePHP is a lot more flexible then people give it credit for, but 'official documentation' for taking a 'custom' path really should not be expected. I for one love going my own way or bending CakePHP to my will but it takes effort creativity and a willingness to be comfortable digging around and being frustrated. In my humble (mostly) opinion. Have fun dig and share (that last part I need to work on better I am sure) Sam D -- (the old fart) the advice is free, the lack of crankiness will cost you - its a fine line between a real question and an idiot http://blog.samdevore.com/archives/2007/03/05/when-open-source-bugs-me/ http://blog.samdevore.com/cakephp-pages/my-cake-wont-bake/ http://blog.samdevore.com/cakephp-pages/i-cant-bake/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
