#6501: 'hidden' => false option for the hidden input in form helper
radio/checkbox/select inputs

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
I think it would be helpful if the argument 'hidden' => false could be
added to $options for radio/checkboxes/select lists. The reason is because
when displaying multiple groups of checkboxes or selects on one form, all
the preceeding values are wiped by the last group's initial hidden tree
stump decleration:
{{{
<input type="hidden" name="data[Model][Model]" />
}}}
This is then followed by the standard:
{{{
<input name="data[Model][Model][]" />
}}}
This input works just fine even in multiple groups on the form.
I have been one of three individuals in the last few days that have had to
jump a few hurdles to get around this simply because we cannot prevent
certain auto-generated html output.
An example solution would be simply placing:
{{{
if (!isset($attributes['hidden']) || $attributes['hidden'] == false)
before
$select[] = $this->hidden(null, array('value' => '', 'id' => null,
'secure' => false));
}}}
and possibly in a few other locations amongst the helper.
Since I'm not sure I can expect the helper to detect multiple instances of
itself in 1 form, at the very least it would be nice to make it a passable
option. Right now I'm forced to manually build the sets of inputs and then
remerge the data, I just find it unusual not to have full control on the
generated html output.
