It would be interesting to hear about it.
Yes, that seems to be the problem keyur is addressing--how to split up the group of checkboxes across the page. My first thought was that this might be better dealt with through a change in model/association but I think I understand the problem better now. Creating a helper would, of course, be much better than hacking the core, but your idea of creating separate checkbox groups and merging the results in the controller seems reasonable, also. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
