Still trying to concat data from two models into a select list in a
third.
Thanks for the help thus far, Geoff. Taking your advice, and some
input from IRC, after much trying, I'm at:
In controller:
function getListData($data){
$data = $this->Model->query("SELECT CONCAT(bar, ' - ', barbar) AS
foobar
FROM `bars` , `barbars` WHERE `bar`.`barbar_id` = `barbar`.`id`");
return $data;
}
$listdata = array();
foreach ($data as $item) {
$listdata[$data]['Model']['foo'] = $data['Model2']['bar'] .
'-' .
$data['Model3']['barbar'];
}
and later, in the 'add' function:
$this->set('listdata', $this->Model->getListData());
In the view:
echo $html->selectTag("Player/team", $teamsportlist, $selectedItems);
None of this seems to be working, no matter how I jigger things about.
Aargh!
