Got what i'm looking for, afterFind function which is run via the
model.
function afterFind($results){
foreach($results as $key => $val){
if(array_key_exists('Improvement', $val)){
$results[$key]['Improvement']['status']
= $this->getStatus
($results[$key]['Improvement']['status']);
}
}
return $results;
}
Works perfect and updates my array, will have great use for this,
formatting my results. Going to use tinyint values in database now
and give text for each status. I'll then use the status for css and
field status. Still have a slight problem in that the array does not
have index values so i'm receiving notices, but i will post a new
message.
