I'm not sure what you mean but I don't think either of us are out of their mind. :-) > Yes, time to leave scaffolding behind, but there were some helpful > (and not always helpful) defaults like "show name value for FK id". For sure. Scaffolding is a big head start. But it can only provide a basic view and should be considered as a starting point. Not many people are going to want to display the model's ID, for instance. Or list paginated results in a table. > Like you say, I don't want to add more data for no good reason.

Just figured I'd aske before I > go back and rebake 35 unscaffolded views! I think a helper for that would be a bit tricky and probably not worth the effort. You'd have to pass it the name of the associated model and the field name as well, for instance. Like I said, this sort of thing would be best in afterFind() if it's done at all. That way, it can be tailored to a specific model. But, personally, I think simply using the associated array is much more straightforward. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
