Re: Rudeness

Hi Paul

Thanks, and yeah, have officially stopped banging head :)

Basically I'm really enjoying cakephp in the few short weeks I've been
using it...and don't want to disparage it - I agree that the issue is
almost without doubt in my code...

I have seen it working ok..as mentioned in my second lengthy diatribe
- near the head-bangy bit - see above if interested, look for the bit
just below 'aaaarrrgghhh' (oh dear). But it just seems arbitrary as to
when it works tho - in my current configuration at least.

Anyway, I followed your advice and tried this:

$options=array('M'=>'Male','F'=>'Female');
echo $this->Form->input('Member.gender',
array('type'=>'radio','options'=>$options));

'gender' is a single character char field on the members table.

Which produced:

<input type="radio" name="data[Member][gender]" id="MemberGender"
value="M">
<label for="MemberGender">Male</label>
<input type="radio" name="data[Member][gender]" id="MemberGender"
value="F">
<label for="MemberGender">Female</label>

So still not quite there, but will continue trying other methods. I'll
take a look at $this->Form->radio, and consider the entry in
tags.ini.php perhaps.

I note rchavik tried my code in his setup and it worked ok. Thanks for
that - perhaps there's a deeper underlying reason for my problem then.

I'll post the code to a page somewhere soon if I don't find a
resolution.

To others on the rudeness subject...on reflection I do see where AD
was coming from...my post was far too long and this was pointed out. I
reacted in a manner I'd prefer not to have done, for which I
apologised. I think Cakephp is great...and this forum has been very
helpful to me in recent weeks since cutting my teeth on cake...(is
that possible?). Maybe the issue could be left alone now and we can
move forward treating each other with at least enough respect to
understand that some out there have way more knowledge than others,
and to transfer that knowledge through this forum can only be for the
better good of cakephp in general.

Cheers

Dave
