# Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 jaredhoyt $this->data = $this->Model->find()
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 jaredhoyt or read() or whatever
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 jaredhoyt if you want form inputs to automatically load db data
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 beatzombies jaredhoyt: oh, i see
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 beatzombies jaredhoyt: i am kind of making my own array of values from various models in my controller and setting that for my view to use
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 jaredhoyt if you just want to display data in text form, then do $this->set('some_var', $this->Model->find())
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 beatzombies jaredhoyt: is that the wrong way to do things?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 jaredhoyt beatzombies: then you're going to have to manually set the checkbox value
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 beatzombies jaredhoyt: and then manually set the values in the database when im updated those values?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 jaredhoyt beatzombies: well, save them as you would any other form data
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 jaredhoyt if you're setting db data into a view var, then you'd do something like <?php echo $form->checkbox('Model.fieldname', array('value' => $view_var['path_to_field']); ?>
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 beatzombies jaredhoyt: so when i submit i wouldnt be able to just do a save() because the submitted data to the controller would not be model information
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 beatzombies i see
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 jaredhoyt beatzombies: when you hit submit, only form data is passed into the controller action
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 jaredhoyt you're view variables are lost ;)
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 beatzombies jaredhoyt: alright, i see i need to think about this some more
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 beatzombies jaredhoyt: thanks, ill definitely be back with more questions
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:37 beatzombies jaredhoyt: wait, so when i reference ContributorsItem as in $form->checkbox('ContributorsItem.contributed'); what does cakephp look at to get that value?
