well, it is a generic cake basic, any field not just radios work the way I described above. |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:20 |
hagen00 |
so maybe that should e updated... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:20 |
hagen00 |
don't say anything about setting a value to checked for radio |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:20 |
hagen00 |
but, just a final word on this. the docs here: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#creating-radio-buttons |

Morning everyone |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
hagen00 |
will fiddle. not your problem to solve! |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
hagen00 |
ok thanks :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
dereuromark |
oh geeze :slightly_smiling_face: then use what I said above. |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
hagen00 |
it's an edit form |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
hagen00 |
i.e. radio... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:19 |
hagen00 |
must be editable though |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
dereuromark |
most people wouldnt even use a radio here, just directly output icon + value |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
hagen00 |
that works, but it's ugly |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
dereuromark |
value= $entity->value |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
hagen00 |
echo $this->Form->radio( 'profile_category_questions._ids', [ ['value' => 'r', 'text' => 'Red', 'style' => 'color:red;'], ['value' => 'u', 'text' => 'Blue', 'style' => 'color:blue;', 'checked' => 'checked'], ['value' => 'g', 'text' => 'Green', 'style' => 'color:green;'], ] ); |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
hagen00 |
maybe this: |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
dereuromark |
wuut? but then you can directly use entities? |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
hagen00 |
i have no problems with any of the controller things... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
dereuromark |
and with cake3 even entities to do the same thing even cleaner |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:18 |
hagen00 |
ok, will look, but to be clear, i'm in the view .ctp file... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:17 |
dereuromark |
there is an else case for if(posted) |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:17 |
dereuromark |
It works like it did 7 years ago :slightly_smiling_face: http://www.dereuromark.de/2010/06/23/working-with-forms/#default-values |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:16 |
dereuromark |
my point exactly |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:16 |
hagen00 |
i..e i'm landing on the page, requeste->data not set yet. no post request yet |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:16 |
hagen00 |
yes, i know that for simple forms. not sure it will work for a complex form, with multiple associations... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:16 |
hagen00 |
hmm, but my array isn't populated from request->data. |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:15 |
dereuromark |
you can also populate the entity and do form->create($entity) - will also work and is even cleaner |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:15 |
dereuromark |
yes, and what I said is for displaying the selected value |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:14 |
dereuromark |
but I wouldnt do this with magic numbers, use either string keys, or better like I do a enum kind of approach |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:14 |
hagen00 |
i.e the form has been saved, now i want to display it again |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:14 |
hagen00 |
i'm asking for display purposes. not saving purposes |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:14 |
dereuromark |
it is really that easy |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:14 |
dereuromark |
$this->request->data[gender] = number |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
dereuromark |
if it is provided in the correct form |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
hagen00 |
how do i set Feminime to checked? |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
hagen00 |
so for example: $this->Form->radio('gender', ['Masculine','Feminine','Neuter']); |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
dereuromark |
why? it reads the data |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
hagen00 |
yes, i have the data. the data isn't the problem. the problem is the helper... |
| # |
Apr 25th 2017, 09:13 |
dereuromark |
either from controller via request->data preset, or in view via default |

Can anyone advise how to set a radio button to checked in a radio button list. The docs aren't clear on this. |
