# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:11 ahmed_bodi thats a nice solution
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic this way you can get a tree of all users of you app too :D
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic just make evey user level 1 below your "app" root-node
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 ahmed_bodi hm? how so?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic you dont need that
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic why?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:09 ahmed_bodi each user would be a root node
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:09 ahmed_bodi for now yes, in the future nope
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:08 hmic there is only one root node in the table, isn't it? :p
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:07 ahmed_bodi :P
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:07 ahmed_bodi haha, would do if i wasnt allowing user signups
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:05 hmic just dont insert the root through the ORM :p
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:05 ahmed_bodi @hmic the default buildrules for my model, its checking existsIn for the parent_id but its set to null as it should for the root node, safe to remove?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:00 greenjam94 Setting the display field works perfectly, thanks for the help (and for answering my earlier question)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:59 hmic additionally, you can change the find('list') call in the controller and provide the valueField parameter to its options array, to specify which field to use
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:59 greenjam94 ah! I'll try that
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 hmic you can change it there
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 hmic greenjam94: it populates the display field from the table
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 greenjam94 ahmed_bodi: I need to clarify, this is a select control, not a regular text input. I need to change the name of each select option, it's pulling the wrong column from the entity
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:57 hmic jason001, no worries
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 ahmed_bodi no worries :)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 ahmed_bodi wanted to avoid coding it up until i knew the structure worked for what i wanted
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 jason001 so should I just copy-paste my apology from above? thank you hmic
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 hmic there is a method to do so (regenerate from either lft/rgt or parent_id)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 hmic hint: it will be enough to populate the parent_id and let cake fix the tree
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:55 hmic ahmed_bodi, you dont need to manually populate them. you should read the docs on how the tree works
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:55 hmic jason001, yes, you do, usually... which makes that not so much a cake question :P
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:55 ahmed_bodi @hmic i'm trying to get the tree table going with some sample data and im confused as to what to put for left and right any clues?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:54 jason001 @hmic - there are alot of parameters at play... one of which is my webhost. I have a few things to look at, thank you for your time
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:54 ahmed_bodi instead of false put what you want
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:54 ahmed_bodi <?= $this->Form->input('first_name', ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'First Name', 'label' => false]); ?>
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:54 hmic greenjam94: add 'label' => 'Name' to the options array
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:53 ahmed_bodi one sec
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:53 ahmed_bodi with the label option
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:53 ahmed_bodi @greenjam94 yes
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:53 hmic it does work, i'm using a solution of the 5th hit, so you dont need to look further
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:53 greenjam94 for a select statement, can you set the label of the drop downs? I have the following: ``` echo $this->Form->control('listing_id', ['options' => $listings]); ``` but it's listing options with the labels being "title" which is incorrect, I need it to be "name"
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:52 hmic - or learn apache and understand how mod_rewrite works better - which is hard!
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:52 jason001 none of which work.... thank you hmic.
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:52 hmic you tried one that failed - keep on trying!
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:52 hmic like 20 different solutions on the first google results page
