Although there are some discrepancies or missing inforrmation in the
Cookbook, the nice thing is that we, as a community, can offer
suggestions to improve it. It's basically a huge moderated Wiki (or
integrated and web-based Trac system for documentation).
...either way, even without a definition in the method itself of what
$options can be filled with, what you were passing it was still
incorrect, based on the cookbook. The values you can trry to pass to
the minute() or hour() methods can be found under:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/189/Automagic-Form-Elements -- see all
the $options['..........'] descriptions.
As for alternative sources, there's also the API and you can search
through the code to find the answers you need. (api.cakephp.org)
