Easy as cake my friend.
Just use this code, and build the list for your checkboxes...
$selected_users=array();
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Site->read(null, $id);
/*
here you would replace the data=read with something like
$ali_list =
$this->Aliquot->find('all',array('conditions'=>.)). and get whatever you
need to make a list of.
As long as your models are set up correctly you should
have all the related data that you need to build your names
*/
// below modify the references to $this->data. and
replace them with the array structure of $ali_list
foreach($this->data['User'] as $user){
if(is_array($user)){
// extract($user,EXTR_PREFIX_ALL,'user');
extract($ali_list,EXTR_PREFIX_ALL,'ali');
if($user_id !=
$this->data['Site']['admin_id']){
$selected_users[$ali_id]=$ali_username;
}
}
}
}
Then use this code to display it.
<?php
echo $form->input(
'Category',
array(
'type'=>'select',
'multiple'=>'checkbox',
'options'=>$categories,
'label'=>false
)
);
?>
Don't worry about the 'label' = false.
What you are doing is making a multi select box with no label and displaying
the individual options as checkboxes. Internally, cake will convert this to
checkboxes and labels.

No. The checkboxes in this case only pertain to my aliquots table so
that users can assign them to a box, which is in turn assigned to a
freezer. But in order to identify where the aliquots go, there are a
few fields from my specimens table (blood comes in as a specimen and
is then divided into aliquots) that I'd like to display in the label.
If so you need to use the
