How can i give different title for different radio button using CakePHP Form Helper
$radio_options = array('unknown'=>'Unknown','negative'=>'Negative','positive'=>'Positive');
$titles = array('0'=>'Unknown','1'=>'Negative','2'=>'Positive');
I am trying to create radio buttons like this
echo $this->Form->input('radio_buttons', array(
'options' => $radio_options,
'legend' =>false,
'label' => true,
'div'=>false,
'class'=>'radio inline',
'type' => 'radio',
'separator'=>'<br>',
'title'=>$titles,));
But its not working..Form Helper creating same title for all of the radio buttons.
Look at what the FormHelper generates, then generate it manually or with a php foreach loop or something.
There are cases like this, when it's just easier (or the only way) to not use a helper.

I have a form with a dropdown that is multiple => true
echo $this - > Form - > input('test_id', [
'options' => $tests,
'required' => true,
'empty' => 'Select Tests',
'multiple' => true
]);
But when i submit the form only one value is saved in database.
I have searched for solution and found this:
Multiple select in input Cakephp
It suggests using SaveMany in my Controller, but i can't figure it out how to use it to get my desired output.
I'm very new to this framework so any help would be appreciated.
sorry i m also new but as other answers and question i don't see 'selected' => $selected in your form

Somebody please give me ideas on this!I would like to generate multiple checkboxes with an image along with the text in the label. I have created a field called solutioncheckbox in the Contact form for Checkbox. My code is as below for creating multiple Checkboxes
<?php echo $this->Form>input('solutioncheckbox',array('label'=>false,'type'=>'select','class'=>'solution','multiple'=>'checkbox','options'=>array(1=>'WEB DESIGN',2=>'WEB DEVELOPMENT',3=>'GRAPHICS DESIGN'))) ;?>
Can I create an image along with the text in each of the labels like WEB DESIGN,WEB DEVELOPMENT etc in my form
This will get the job done for you ;)
echo $this->Form->input
(
'Model.field',
array
(
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'options' => array('1' => $this->Html->image('cake.icon.png') . 'Text beside the image', '2' => $this->Html->image('test-error-icon.png') . 'Other text beside the image'),
'escape' => FALSE
)
);
I'm generating a bunch of checkboxes through the Form Helper.
Essenciatially I have an array with like $tests = array
$tests = array(1 => 'test', 15=>'test2');
Then I can use it like this
echo $this->Form->input('test_id', array(
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'div' => false,
'before' => '<li>',
'after' => '</li>',
'separator' => '</li> <li>'));
I expected it would use the div => false to take off the div of every checkbox but it only applies the options to the exterior block. Is there anyway to change all the blocks from <div class=>'checkbox'> to <li class='anything else'>
Just look at the fields it produces, then write your own simple foreach() loop and write them yourself in whatever wrapping element(s) you want.
I forget whether it's possible with Cake or not, but don't think it is. The above is what we've done before - because it's simple to write, it took us less time to write than it did to look further into it :)
I'm using the Form helper to generate a label:
$this->Form->label('Contact.name', 'Name');
Which generates the following:
<label for="ContactName">Name</label>
Is it possible to generate the following using the helper:
<label for="ContactName"><span class="mandatory">*</span> Name</label>
Whilst I can manually write the html for the above it becomes a little more difficult when I am using the input method where a label is automatically generated.
For example:
$this->Form->input('Contact.forename',array('div' =>false,
'label' => array(
text'=> 'First Name',class =>'myclass'),
'class' => 'input','size' => '25' ,'tabindex' => '1'));
Is this possible in cake or do I have to manually inject the html using javascript when the page loads? Which I would think is rather ugly.
If you are using model validation for the mandatory fields then cakephp automatically applies '*' on the Label else you can use the helper as follows-
echo $this->Form->label('name', '<span class="mandatory">*</span> Name');
If you don't want the labels to generate automatically you can use "label => false" while using the helper.
echo $this->Form->input('Contact.forename',array('label' =>false));
Not sure CakePHP supports that (and it would get a bit messy anyway). The simplest solution I can think of is to assign a "mandatory" class to the label via the form helper:
$this->Form->label('User.name', 'Your username', array('class'=>'mandatory'));
Which produces something like:
<label class="mandatory" for="ContactName">Name</label>
Then the rest is done purely in CSS:
label.mandatory:after {
content: ' *';
color: red;
display: inline;
}
Avoids having any additional HTML.
I know this is old, but maybe someone with Cakephp 3 is having the same problem. This is what fixed it for me, without any inlinecode.
<?php
echo $this->Form->input(
'renovate_old',
[
'type' => 'checkbox',
'label' => ['text' => __('Alte Wohnung'), 'class' => 'moCheckLabel']
]); ?>
So you can name your label and use the Databasefield to write.
you can do it simple by
echo $this->Form->input('whatever', array('between'=>'<label for="ContactName"><span class="mandatory">*</span> Name</label>','label'=>false));
I have two tables: "restaurants" and "cuisines" which are related to each other by a HABTM table
The table cuisines has certain fixed entries - 54 number
A restaurant can have any number of cuisines. On baking the application this came with a multiple select. Since i wanted check boxes i used array( 'type' => 'select', 'multiple' => 'checkbox') to convert it into checkboxes.
Now i want to style the way this checkboxes are displayed into columns of 4 as seen on the screenshot below.
img2.pict. com/82/bc/a4/1453459/0/200908111511.png
echo $form->input('Cuisine', array('type' => 'select', 'multiple' => 'checkbox'));
The above code produces many div's around each element as follows
http://img2.pict.com/1a/a3/0a/1453457/0/200908121509.png
I have tried the following:
echo $form->input('Cuisine', array( 'type' => 'select', 'multiple' => 'checkbox', 'div' => false, 'label' => false));
but this code only removes the outside divs and label. I am not able to control the internal
<div class="checkbox">
<label for="CuisineCuisine2">Andhra</label>
that appear around the single checkboxes.
How can I use the FormHelper to remove or give classes to the internal divs, so I can do some custom styling?
Or is there any other way to populate this HABTM table to get the effect i want?
You could get around this by doing $form->select() instead, and apply a style or class attribute to get it to look how you want.
It seems to make sense to not use the $form->input() function if you are going to remove the div and label anyway.
You can stylize the DIV elements with CSS.
<style>
div.input div.checkbox {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
</style>
You can remove or give classes to the internal divs like this
$this->Form->input("hello_test",array('type'=>'checkbox','div'=>'class_name'));
By default cake uses : type class e.g - type is checkbox then class="checkbox"
