I have these models:
class Prefix extends AppModel {
public $displayField = 'prefix';
public $hasMany = array(
'State' => array(
'className' => 'State',
'foreignKey' => 'prefix_id',
'dependent' => false,
),
);
}
class State extends AppModel {
public $displayField = 'name';
public $belongsTo = array(
'Prefix' => array(
'className' => 'Prefix',
'foreignKey' => 'prefix_id',
),
);
}
Then I have this admin_add
method, from the automatic scaffolder:
public function admin_add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->Peefix->create();
if ($this->Prefix->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
// Error message
}
}
$states = $this->Prefix->State->find('list');
$this->set(compact('states'));
}
I also have the list of them in my form:
<?php echo $this->Form->input('State', array('multiple' => 'checkbox', 'type' => 'select',)); ?>
Now I can set the State
s for the Prefix
. However, when I submit the form, the selection disappears. It is not saved in the database.
What did I do wrong?
