Do you need checkboxes from multiple tables? If so you need to use the trick I posted earlier today to make the hidden elements not be duplicated. Overload your form.php in your app/views/helpers folder.
What you are doing is similar to a recent application that I wrote, in which I developed this extention to the form->input method to accomplish just this effect. See the message "re: Ticket #5577 (new Enhancement)" If this is what you need. -----Original Message----- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:cake-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tony Thomas Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:52 PM To: CakePHP Subject: Re: Label information for Multiple Checkboxes The complicating factor here is that Aliquot belongs to Specimen in my model and I want to display some information from both tables: Specimen.type, Specimen.draw_date, Aliquot.additive & etc. It looks more and more like I'm going to have to put that information in an array and loop through it, building each checkbox one at a time instead of my example below. Or am I missing something?
