I have the next tables in the database:
- Lift
- Vehicle
- Manufacturer
Lift belongsTo Vehicle
Vehicle belongsTo Manufacturer
Manufacturer hasMany Vehicles
LiftsController.php add method:
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->Lift->create();
$this->request->data['Lift']['user_id'] = $this->Auth->user('id');
if ($this->Lift->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The lift has been saved'));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'my_lifts'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The lift could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
}
$vehicles = $this->Lift->Vehicle->find('all', array('fields' => array('id', 'model', 'manufacturer_id')));
$towns = $this->Lift->TownFrom->find('list', array('order' => 'county ASC, name ASC', 'fields' => array('id', 'name', 'county')));
$this->set(compact('users', 'vehicles', 'towns'));
}
LiftsController.php add view:
echo $this->Form->input('vehicle_id');
A printscreen:
So what I need is to display instead of Manufacturer ID's the manufacturer name. In every model the $displayField is set to the correct value
