Are you using 1.2?

Having said that – been meaning to look at this all again – there are instances when it does error.

Thanks for pointing that out. I hope it is something I would notice now, but when I was doing this some of the finer points of model associations were just lost on me.

I’m also a new Cake developer. Now working on a News Helper.

You said:
Changed ‘tag’ to ‘name’ in ‘tags’ – I changed this because generateList was not working and the $tags array geneated for the view did not contain the tag name ‘tag’ – only the ‘tag_id’ value.

Well, you don’t have to do it. In the tag’s model, add that line:
//just under var $name = ‘Tag’;
var $displayField = ‘name’;

Then, in the generateList, you’ll get the name instead the id.

Sorry for my inglish and hope I help…

$this->set(’selectedTags’, null);

to

$this->set(’selectedTags’, array());

or you get an error that habtm is getting the wrong datatype in the second position…

Glad it’s been of use. I had a quick thought that it could be something along the lines of not having copied / modified your the tags.ini.php to /app/config/ from /cake/config/… but I don’t think that is it on reflection.

Sometimes it is really hard to figure out what is going on I guess because the framework is so big.

Warning: file_put_contents(e:\apache\habtm\tmp\cache\models\default_tags) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\apache\cake\basics.php on line 935

but this could be a config issue on my side. Otherwise, it works great. Thanks!
