Re: Add Fields

Dave, what is your database design for this issue?
As scs stated, are you saving the additional information in a separate
table or in the profile table as 10 independent columns?
Depending on your answer, we will try better to help you :)
In my own opinion, scs' idea is sound!
And if I remember correctly, then CakePHP can accepts more than one
record for the related table if you use the form field definition as
Model.indexNumber.fieldname - example: Userinfo.0.uservalue.
That should also make it easier for you to create the 10 additional
information form fields by looping!
Enjoy,
John
