First, make sure your associations are correct.
User model:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Hobby');
Hobby model:
var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('User');
In your UsersController:
function edit($id = null)
{
if (!empty($this->data))
{
...
}
/* this code will run when the user first loads the edit view,
* as well as when the save is unsuccessful and form is re-displayed
*/
$this->set(
'hobbies',
$this->User->Hobby->find('list')
);
}
view:
echo $form->input(
'Hobby',
array(
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => 'checkbox'
),
$hobbies
);
