I have one more alternate way to prevent hidden control without doing
any kind of directly changes into libarary helper file (form.php).
that is ...
we can make out own custom helper with similar kind of function with
applied condition for not generating hidden while displaying multiple
checkboxes....
for that we have to follow steps as below:
1. make php helper file on location app/views/helpers/
2. Make Helper Class like <classname>Helper and extends Helper as
base class.
class MultipleCheckboxHelper extends Helper { }
3. include required helpers by defining var $helpers = array
('Html','Form'); into custom helper class.
4. here we need Html and Form so define $helpers array variable as
shown above.
5. Now, just copy select Function from Form.php (cake library helper
file) and paste it over here.
6. Rename function name and take for conflict naming conventions with
another existing function name
7. Find and Replace $this-> TO $this->Form->
8. Replace line where hidden element will be generated with $style
condition as below:
function selectMultiple($fieldName, $options = array(), $selected =
null, $attributes = array(), $showEmpty = '') {
....................
....................
if($style!='checkbox'){
$select[] = $this->Form->hidden(null, array('value' => '', 'id'
=> null, 'secure' => false));
}
.....................
.....................
}
9. Open controller file where you need to use this helper and include
this custom helpers by defining array variable as below:
var $helpers = array('Form','Html','Javascript','MultipleCheckbox');
10. call method from custom helpers into view files (.ctp / .thml) as
below:
<?php $options1=array(1=>" Create Lead");
e($multipleCheckbox->selectMultiple
('ProfilePermissionsMaster.permission',$options1,NULL,array
('multiple'=>'checkbox' , 'separator'=>' <br> ','value'=>'1')));
$options2=array(2=>" Approve/Reject Lead");
e($multipleCheckbox->selectMultiple
('ProfilePermissionsMaster.permission',$options2,NULL,array
('multiple'=>'checkbox' , 'separator'=>' <br> ','value'=>'2')));
?>
Note: we have to call helper methods with object name with small case
of first word like $multipleCheckbox->method( )
Please let me your view which is correct way that i should have to
follow....
which is the most standard way as per cakephp rule or its MVC
structure.
Thanks and Regards,
Keyur.
