In my database model, my attribute is set as type INT. On the front end, I want to display a select field with representative values for the respective Integer values. eg: [1 = Home, 2 = About] I am currently using an external plugin for the administrating content, and the select values only allows integer. So my idea is to achieve this at respective Model. Is it possible? |

Genarally yes. You should be able to attach results of Model->find('list') to select field. Of course your model should have name or title fields for description values (Home, About). |

Sounds like the kind of enum representation as I always use. Try this solution: http://www.dereuromark.de/2010/06/24/static-enums-or-semihardcoded-attributes/ I basically uses an array matching to resolve those ints into strings in a clean way - using the model. can be the whole array for select fields or just the specific string for output in the view/index. Its also fully form and bake-template capable. If you name the field "attribute" in your table, and name the method "attributes()" you can easily have "cake bake" to bake this via custom templates. |
