  why . instead of / ?

• Kim Biesbjerg March 19, 2007 at 21:35

  Consistency. E.g. SessionComponent and SessionHelper have used dot notation all along.

  The only reason it’s been / up till now is because that’s the way it’s always been since the beginning. We are currently engaged in a major re-architecting of Cake’s form generators, and we decided to implement that change for data-access consistency across all elements of the framework.

  input(‘User/email’, array(‘size’ => ’30′));?>

  I have been using it like the above.

  @all: Thanks for your comments.

  @chef kc: I don’t know blogger.com, but I think it should be easy to change your template. Just experiment a bit and have a look at http://help.blogger.com/

  @Mandy: Your code will still work, but if you use CakePHP from the 1.2 development branch you should use in the future:

  $html->input('User.email', array('size' => '30'));

  It doesn’t work for me, I’m using v4636.

• CraZyLeGs March 21, 2007 at 11:47

  I saw this coming, glad it’s finally done.

  @René: Hm, what does not work? The following simple form works for me:

  echo $form->create();
  echo $form->input('User.name');
  echo $form->submit();
  echo $form->end();

  Hello! I’m discovering Cake!
  When i’m using this way, it gives me something wrong like wrong Id for my input and div!
  For echo $form->input(‘User.name’);
  I have id=”UserUser.name” !
  What can I do ?

• cakebaker March 30, 2007 at 08:33

  @floptwo: Which version of Cake do you use? The dot notation is not yet supported in the releases, it is only available in the nightly builds or if you get the code directly from the repository.
