I'm using cakephp 2.2.2 and I have a problem with the editing view
Models and relationships are:
Person hasMany OrganizationPerson
Organization hasMany OrganizationPerson
OrganizationPerson belongs to Person,Organization
A basic hasMany through relationship as found within cake documentation.
Tables are:
people (id,...)
organizations (id,...)
organization_people (id, person_id,organization_id,...)
In the person add and edit forms there is a select box allowing a user to select multiple organization. The problem I have is, when a user edits an existing person, the associated organizations aren't pre-selected.
Here is the code in the PeopleController:
$organizations = $this->Person->OrganizationPerson->Organization->find('list');
$this->set(compact('organizations'));
Related part of the code in the People/edit code looks like:
$this->Form->input('OrganizationPerson.organization_id', array('multiple' => true, 'empty' => false));
This will populate the select field, but it does not pre-select it with the Person's associated organizations.
Format and content of the $this-data:
Array (
[Person] => Array (
[id] => 1 ... )
[OrganizationPerson] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[id] => 1
[person_id] => 1
[organization_id] => 1 ... )
[1] => Array (
[id] => 2
[person_id] => 1
[organization_id] => 2 ... ) ) )
What I have to add/change in the code to get pre-selected organizations?
Thanks in advance!
