Just to keep it simple, I've only got two fields in my 'find' until I
work out the logic. Once I have that worked out, I should be able to
open it up to however many fields I want.
$aliquots = $this->Aliquot->find(
'all',
array('fields' => array(
'Aliquot.id',
'Specimen.type'),
'conditions' =>
'Aliquot.box_id IS NULL', 'limit' => '0, 100',
'recursive' => 2
)
);
$this->set('aliquots', $aliquots);
Then in the view:
echo $form->input('Aliquot', array( 'label' => false,
'type'
=> 'select',
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'options' => $aliquots));
The problem is that 'options' above doesn't seem to display a nested
array correctly. It's fine if I only define a single field in my find,
but since it uses the array for the labels as well as the value for
each checkbox, I can't define more information there to be displayed
only in the label. At least I haven't figured out how.
I could loop through and define each checkbox separately, but making a
multiple selection is difficult in that scenario unless I abandon the
form helpers altogether and just hand code the form.
