2 ways about it. One, switch on debug=1 (atleast) in core.php. This should give you the query and some indication on how to fix it.
Two, if the idea is to limit the amount of characters displayed in the view, then handle it in the index.ctp like this echo "<td>".(strlen($data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field ["title"]]) > 25?substr($data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field ["title"]],0,22)."...":$data['records'][$i][$field["table"]][$field ["title"]] )." </td>"; On Feb 4, 12:28 pm, gkc <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to limit the amount of characters returned on a field. > > I have tried using 'fields'=>array('LEFT(field,200) AS \'field\'') but > I get an undefined index: field error when I do this. > > Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
