Hey guys
I'm creating a form using the Form helper, and I'd like to send
default values using named params:
/users/add/first_name:max/last_name:miller
I've already come so far that the input() accepts default values for
text fields and dropdown lists:
echo $this->Form->create(null, array('url' => '/'.$this->params['url']
['url']));
foreach($scaffoldFields as $field) {
$selected = null;
if(empty($this->data) && isset($this->params['named'][$field])) { //
When there's no data present (sent using POST or loaded from the
database), then apply any default values from named parameters!
$selected = $this->params['named'][$field];
}
echo $this->Form->input($field, array('selected' => $selected,
'default' => $selected)); // TODO: Not very nice to have both selected
(dropdown) and default (text) keys here...!
}
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit', true));
But I'm unsure on how to implement this for checkboxes and multi
select lists? For this I'd have to know what sort of field the helper
creates, and then e.g. I could send an array of values as default.
Is there an easy way to examine what sort of input field will be
created by the Form helper?
Thanks,
Josh
