#5919: same fields in different models lead to unexpected behaviour using
formhelper
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: e0827543 | Type: Bug
Status: new | Priority: High
Milestone: 1.2.x.x | Component: Helpers
Version: RC4 | Severity: Normal
Keywords: formhelper, types | Php_version: n/a
Cake_version: |
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Imagine you have to models, e.g. Post and Tag
Each Post and Tag have both field named "title", but Post.title is text,
and Tag.title is varchar(100). Using FormHelper to output both fields
without defining the type of the fields manually would expect to show a
textarea and an input type text field.
{{{
<?php
$form->create('Post');
//debug($form->fieldset);
echo $form->input('Tag.title');
echo $form->input('Post.title');
echo $form->end();
?>
}}}
But depending on with which model the form is created, field types from
this specific Model are cached without the model name. So executing the
lines above leads to unexpected behaviour because two text fields or two
textareas are shown, depending on whether using $form->create('Post') or
$form->create('Tag').
This bug is very, very bad because if existing SQL Tables are only
extended in the database (e.g. add a field which exists in one other
table), existing and tested forms may change.
