hi,

Controller:

class ConfigurationsController extends AppController {
   
    public $components = array(
        'Security'
    );
    public function index(){
       
        /*..................*/
       
    }
}

View:

<?php
    echo $this->Form->create('Configurations');
    echo $this->Form->input('Trader.name');

   

    /****

    Settings:

    table: traders

    column: has_ftp tinyint(1)

    <div class="input checkbox">

          <input type="checkbox" id="TraderHasFtp" value="1" name="data[Trader][has_ftp]">

          <label for="TraderHasFtp">Has Ftp</label>

         <input type="text" id="FtpVendor" name="data[Ftp][vendor]">

    Question:

    The FormHelper creates an input field instead of a checkbox!?!?!

    ***/

    echo $this->Form->input('Ftp.vendor');
    echo $this->Form->end('Absenden');

//What i´m doing wrong?
