# Aug 7th 2008, 16:51 pgcd_away tonkatruck: i don't think so, as you will get a message from cake when you don't have a view
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:51 beatzombies pgcd_away: when i call debug it prints out line numbers in files
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:50 TonkaTruck pgcd_away: if debug() is called from the controller do you still need a view for that action?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:50 max2k2 I have a little question for the gurues :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:50 pgcd_away beatzombies: as for the values, i can't really figure out - i don't know enough of the code
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:50 max2k2 hello bakers
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:48 pgcd_away debug() is like print_var or var_dump, only nicer
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:48 beatzombies pgcd_away: what does debug() do?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:48 beatzombies pgcd_away: do you know what determines the values of the checkbox and corresponding hidden field
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:48 pgcd_away so, well, if i were you i'd just plunk a debug() there and try to see what's going on
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:47 pgcd_away that code is from formhelper, circa line 820
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away no, wait
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 beatzombies hmm that is strange
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away }
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away $options['value'] = $value;
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away } elseif (!empty($value)) {
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away $options['checked'] = 'checked';
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away if (isset($options['value']) andand $value == $options['value']) {
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:46 pgcd_away the code for checkbox() will set it as checked only if they are the same
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:45 pgcd_away i notice the values are 0 and 1
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:45 beatzombies ooops
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:45 beatzombies tecknoid: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1570066558
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:44 beatzombies pgcd_away: yes i did
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:44 beatzombies pgcd_away: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1570066558
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:44 pgcd_away beatzombies: you did try checkbox without $options, did you?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:43 teknoid beatzombies: what's the resulting html?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:42 beatzombies teknoid: yes, echo($item['ContributorsItem']['contributed']); produces the correct value
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:41 teknoid beatzombies: yeah, that should work... is your $item['ContributorsItem']['contributed'] showing the correct value?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:40 beatzombies teknoid: i tried that and it does not work. is that what you are talking about?
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:40 beatzombies teknoid: <?php echo $form->checkbox('ContributorsItem.contributed', array('checked'=> $item['ContributorsItem']['contributed'])); ?>

# Aug 7th 2008, 16:38 renan_saddam overwritten
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:38 jaredhoyt )
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:38 renan_saddam jaredhoyt: checked... will not overwrided by cake
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:37 teknoid beatzombies: by using this, you need to add a 'checked' => true/false to your $form->input (or checkbox)
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:36 _psychic_ unless the column type is a string for some reason :/
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:35 _psychic_ probably wont work as a string either
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:35 renan_saddam jaredhoyt: checking it now.. =/
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:33 beatzombies teknoid: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1996040628 (only the first foreach is relevant right now)
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:33 jaredhoyt renan_saddam: ah i see... 'created' and 'modified' are normally saved automagically by cake... i'm not sure what happens if you specify the value yourself, but i'd imagine cake would put precedence on your value
# Aug 7th 2008, 16:33 renan_saddam jaredhoyt: what will happen with created? will cake generate other value?
