Re: select box link and jump to selected category

ok cricket,... I bypass helper,... set categories in a controller which reads from bootstrap,... but still can't get it work from select box,... 

<?php echo $this->Form->create('', array('id'=>'FormId')); ?>

<?php echo $this->Form->input("categories" , array('label' => false, 'type' => 'select',  'options'=>$categories)) ?>

<script type="text/javascript">

$('#FormId').change(function(){ 

        window.location('/videos/category/' + $(this).val()); 

});

</script>

</form>

can you take a look of it if you don't mind please,... select box located right in the middle,... on top of video thumbs,...

With JQuery that's a snap:

$('#your_category_select_id').change(function(){
        window.location('/categories/view/' + $(this).val());
});

I've no idea how to do it with the Helper as I've never used it.

Personally, I'd leave the 'view' part out so the URLs are like
'/categories/monitors', '/categories/keyboards', etc. which I think
looks a bit sharper.

Just be sure to set up the routes properly for all other
CategoriesController actions, then create a route after them like:

Router::connect(
        '/categories/:slug',
        array(
                'controller' => 'categories',
                'action' => 'view'
        ),
        array(
                'slug' => '[-a-z0-9]+',
                'pass' => array('slug')
        )
);

Then just set up the model to return Category.slug instead of id when
you do a find('list').
