I am trying to learn more about associating through models. My current
issue is that I am attempting to design the post add function that I
created following the tutorial so that I can select the user by
username rather than user_id. I want to have the value of the drop
down be user_id and the option be username. I have changed the add
function in controller to find('all') but that only gives me
everything in the users database. I have repeatedly failed to be able
to isolate the username from this. Below is some of the code I have
been playing with.
add view
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('user_id');
echo $this->Form->input('title');
echo $this->Form->input('body');
?>
add function from controller
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Post->create();
if ($this->Post->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session-
>setFlash(sprintf(__('The %s has been saved', true), 'post'));
$this->redirect(array('action' =>
'index'));
} else {
$this->Session-
>setFlash(sprintf(__('The %s could not be saved. Please, try again.',
true), 'post'));
}
}
$users = $this->Post->User->find('list');
$this->set(compact('users'));
}
Belongsto from Model
var $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
Any advice for a clean way to pull data from the Users table from
within the Posts add view would be appreciated.
