#5887: Ability to use custom naming on date fields

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
I was working on an application, and needed the ability to pass a custom
'name' attribute to a date field, however I found when I did this, the
Year, Month, and Date fields would all be the same, so the browser would
only return the Year field instead of the full date.
I fixed this with this enhancement:
cake/libs/view/helpers/form.php:
In function day(), I changed:
return $this->select(
$fieldName . ".day",
$this->__generateOptions('day'), $selected, $attributes, $showEmpty
);
To:
if (is_array($attributes['name']) &&
isset($attributes['name']['day'])) {
$attributes['name']=$attributes['name']['day'];
}
return $this->select(
$fieldName . ".day",
$this->__generateOptions('day'), $selected, $attributes, $showEmpty
);
and did a similar modification to the Year, Month, Hour, minute, etc. This
way, I can give a date field a custom name with code like:
$form->input('date_corrected',array('type'=>'date','name'=>array('month'=>'custom_month','day'=>'custom_day','year'=>'custom_year')));
I don't know if this is an enhancement you'd all want to include in the
release version, or if there was a better way of doing it, I just felt
like sharing in the spirit of open source. Feel free to close/delete this
ticket if it's not correct.
Thanks,
Ben
