Is this possible with checkboxes instead of multi-select ?

I’ve tried to do it with your code but it doesn’t work…

I used the cake-defined _selectedArray() controller method in order to get an array with the selected elements of the multiple select instead of your getSelectedItems() function.

It also seems more adequate as selectTag() needs only the keys of the selected options rather than ids=>names.

My fix was the following (replace Blogentry with post and keyword with tag as appropriate):

function edit($id = null) {
$this->set(”keywords”, $this->Blogentry->Keyword->generateList(null, “keyword ASC”, null, ‘{n}.Keyword.id’, ‘{n}.Keyword.keyword’);

if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->Blogentry->id = $id;
$this->data = $this->Blogentry->read();
$this->set(’selected_keywords’, array_keys($this->getSelectedItems($this->data['Keyword'], ‘id’, ‘keyword’)));
} else {
if ($this->Blogentry->save($this->data)) {
$this->flash(’Your post has been updated.’,'/blogentries’);
} else {
$this->set(’selected_keywords’, $this->data['Keyword']['Keyword']);
$this->set(’errorMessage’, ‘Please correct errors below.’);
}
}
}
