Re: Showing selected values in a HABTM

This is what I do, a small view example:
[code]
<?php echo $form->create('Permit',array('action' => 'add')); ?>
<?php echo $form->input('Activity',array('multiple' => 'checkbox',
'label' => 'Activity')); ?>
<?php echo $form->end('Save'); ?>
[/code]

and to ensure that the Activity field is filled with the possible
values and the chosen ones are checked, here is the small controller
code example:
[code]
$permits = $this->Permit->find(
'first', array(
'conditions' => array(
'Permit.id' => 1
),
'contain' => array(
'Leader' => array('Country','ProvState'),
'User',
'RegistrationLocation',
'Activity'
)
)
);
$this->data = $permits;
$this->set('activities',$this->Permit->Activity-
>find('list',array('contain' => false)));
[/code]

Hope this helps you on the way ;)
Enjoy,
John
