I'm new to MVC, This might be simple but I've looked everywhere for a solution and no luck. My problem is that I have a page that will contain many drop down lists of lines and not just one word. The user must select at least one line or more from each list. when they hit submit, all the selected items need to populate either on a pdf or a blank pop up as TXT. I've looked into enums, select2, chosen, Bootstrap select... the project I'm adding this page in is MVC5 code first approach with a database of users, the users function is to have roles assigned for different questionnaire. any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've been trying for the past 2 days, how to embed a view from a different controller.
I have two tables (hotels, hotelQuotes), related to each other. The hotels table is linked with a hasmany to the hotelQuotes table, and hotelQuotes with a belongsTo hotels table. Both are linked and working, they both show their related content with no problem.
The hotelQuotes it's pretty much a form, where users fill it out, and then it sends an Email with what the user filled out. Everything is working fine up to this point.
What I want is, when I show the information about the hotel, is to also show that form, I dont want the user to go to another page to fill out the form. So I pretty much want to embed the view of hotelQuotes/Add to the hotel/view.
I doing that using elements, as recommended last night in #cakephp IRC channel, and also here in StackOverFlow at: Embedding view in another view with CakePHP
The problem is that when I do that, the association between the two models gets broken. I mean, the users fill out the form, but I have nowhere to know where that form is coming from, what hotel is referring to. It just doesn't show that piece of vital information for me.
I've been reading about passing variables when using elements at: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views.html#passing-variables-into-an-element but I don't know how to pass a variable to a form select box. I am using CakePHP 2.5.2.
I hope I explain myself clear here, any input it would be appreciated. See picture below for more info:

Edit> I just realized that the form is not even submitting when I using elements. Why would that be?
Ok, I just figured out.
The form wasn't even submitting when calling it from elements. So I just passed the action myself like so:
echo $this->Form->create('Hotelquote', array(
'action' => 'add'
));
And now is working.
I just can't seem to wrap my head around Drupal relationships. I have been reading and watching tutorials, but as soon as I try to get my own project done - I fail. I think it's very basic, so I would love to understand it. Maybe someone here can help me understand how it works :)
On my drupal site, I want to keep track of some private game tournaments.
I have created a content type called contestant, which has fields like: Tournament date, Player name, Final Position. I can then create a view that list the information from one tournament. I used the help I got from this thread: drupal views dynamic filter
I would like to have the view described above as a block. And then place that block-view on a "tournament description" page. I could do this, by simply creating a new block each time, and then manually place it on the page it should be shown (structure-->Blocks-->configure), but that is not an elegant way to do it. I am pretty sure this is where Relationships should be used. But I fail to understand how to create this relationship, so that the specific block view, that matches the specific tournament description page will be displayed together.
Use a Content:Nid as a Contextual filter.
WHEN the Filter value is not in the URL >>
Provide default value
Content ID from URL
I want to create a small web app which would display a list of movies, with a Google spreadsheet set as a database. So far, I was able to connect my spreadsheet to my app and I also added some filters to it. (As a side note, this thread really helped me in the process.)
Here is a very simplified version of my app: http://plnkr.co/edit/BtbSCVOh7KJsMHjANxMP?p=preview
I still have 3 problems with my <select>, which I can't fix despite trying for hours:
I can't sort my <options> alphabetically. Trying with orderBy didn't return anything.
I can't figure out a way to split my categories when there are more than one for a movie.
If the "categorie" field in my spreadsheet is empty, it will return a blank <option> which I would like to remove or hide.
My guess is that I'll need to update my function one way or another, but I'm a bit lost at the moment.
Any help on this would be really appreciated!
Before I get into the details, here is the overall goal:
I want to have a group of users which get access to a feed, and any new items that appear in that feed they will get access to as well.
Details:
I am using Organic Groups, Feeds/Feed Items, and Views. I have setup a single Organic Group and added a single user to it. I have taken a Feed and added it to the group as well.
I have tried a few different combinations of the queries for Views and here is where I am at currently: http://cl.ly/2T1a0s1A0j3A0I0d3i1u
There is a relationship setup between the Feed and the Feed Item. There is a filter setup that says if the user has permission to view the Feed they should be able to see the Feed Item.
However, when I login to the user account and visit the URL (which used to just be static and take no arguments, ignore the % I just added) I get a blank page.
It would be great to get some help figuring out this problem and/or some pointers on how to debug it + learn more about Views and how I could use Views/OG to solve this problem.
Thanks,
David
The best way I did OG Groups was to create the group under content type. Once that is done. go back into content type and click on Feed scroll down to OG Groups tab click on it. You should seeNODE in the drop-down box and Groups in a select box below. Make sure node is clicked and Group is highlighted. Click save and now do the same for Feed Item. There is one thing to be mindful of, when the feed imports, it will be bundled with the group however the feed it self will be separate from the nodes created linked only by the group. One way to make it easier to manage is to place the feed and the feed items into the same book when setting up the feed. It akes life much easier that way.
So I'm not a programmer, but my friend is. He's trying to help me develop a web/phone app but we are stuck because I'm having trouble communicating to him an idea and he is having trouble understanding. One or both of us is a moron ;) Part of the problem is that I don't even know where to search for the answer cuz I don't know the specific search terms...believe me I've tried...and I've searched stack overflow as well. Here is the problem:
Short Question:
Websites (like hotel search) allow you to search for rooms by selecting checkboxes in certain categories (i.e. smoking/nonsmoking, stars, size of bed, near downtown, etc.). Certainly these sites are referencing a large database of hotels in a city.
How can you create a site so that as you check boxes (narrow your search), other options which are no longer available are dynamically "grayed out" or disabled on the fly so you cannot check those boxes. So if I were to check 4 stars and that excluded all smoking rooms based on the database, then the option to check "smoking" would be disabled.
The key to this is that the site is querying a database as you click boxes, then based on the results of that query (which is presumably many rows of data (a subset)), it is analysing that subset of data to determine whether checkbox options should be on/off, then dynamically "graying out" specific options that are no longer available. Once you got to only a single possible result, then the site would pop up the website for that hotel (or some other action).
What is this called? Where can I get more information on this. Any pointing toward the right direction would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!

HERE IS AN EDIT TO ORIGINAL QUESTION...HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:
So here is my sample database. Each Column (i.e. AA, AB, AC) represents a checkbox. '1'= True, '0'= False, and '2'= Either. Therefore, if you click checkbox AA, then only the top three rows would meet the criteria of AA=True. So query would return the top three rows. The '2's could be either True/False so since they don't affect outcome, those checkboxes should be disabled and only the checkboxes CA,CB, & CC should remain choosable. If you then click checkbox CB, then result ZYX would be output.
Conceptually, How do you go from the initial click to the point where the database is queried and the results are used to dynamically change the menu. People have suggested javascript but i am not looking for a language. I am more looking for the concept. I was thinking that the query would return a new "temp" array with just the top three rows. Then each column of this "temp" array would be queried to see if it contained a '1' in any of the rows. If it did, then that button would be turned "ON". If it didn't then that button would be turned "OFF". Is this confusing? Am I asking for too much ;)
This sounds like javascript could help. For example, using jQuery, you can dynamically send queries to databases based on whatever you click on checkboxes, and then reload a particular section of the webpage. Javascript can also dynamically disable checkboxes.
