It is not to display all categories (options), it is on EDIT, to set
SELECTED on a category option that are selected.
Example: admin_edit.ctp view
echo $form->input('Content.category_id',array('selected'=>$this-
>data['Content']
['category_id'],'size'=>'10','div'=>false,'label'=>false,'type'
=>'select', 'multiple' => true,'options' => array($categories)));
The array of the SELECTED categories does not work, have tried many
different versions of find in the controller to list the selected
categories.
$this->data['Content']['category_id'] = 1,3,7
Output:
<input name="data[Content][category_id]" value=""
id="ContentCategoryId_" type="hidden">
<select name="data[Content][category_id][]" size="10"
multiple="multiple" id="ContentCategoryId">
<option value="1" SELECTED>Test Cat1</option>
<option value="3">.. Test Cat 2</option>
<option value="7">Test3</option>
</select>
I can NOT get the SELECTED inserted to other options than the first
one in the array. I have no idea why this is happening
If I echo $this->data['Content']['category_id']
it output: 1,3,7 so the array contains the ids that where selected
when the content was created.
Any and all help on this will be appreciated!!
Thanks all.
