Re: 3 Days and not 1 person has any idea?

Hi Dave,

I do understand what you want to accomplish and I will look into it.

To "paint" a picture of the situation for all to understand:

The HABTM tables are A, B and AB where AB is the many-to-many table
between A and B.
In AB there is an additional field ab_field.

Using CakePHP forms helper, you want to create checkboxes which
includes the additional field (ab_field) as a text input field, so
that you not only gets the checkboxes, but within the form helpers
output, you also gets the text input field for the ab_field.

I would look into the options - before, after, between, separator, or
the label option - they looks promising :)
If I find something that works, I will pass it on!
Enjoy,
John
