Whenever CakePHP automagically fetches lists from your tables, it uses the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>id<\/span>key for the value and the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>$displayField<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for the text.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your table has a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>name<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>or<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>title<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>field, CakePHP automatically displays it as the display field. So, either rename the field that you want as your display field (say,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>candidate_name<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to just<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>name<\/span>) or set the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>$displayField<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>variable in your model:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 var $displayField = ‘candidate_name’;<\/span><\/p>\n

If there is no other data being stored in the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>qualificationlookups<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>table, change the relationship to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>candidates -> HABTM -> qualifications<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, you first need to drop the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>qualificationlookups<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>table. Create a new table called<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>candidates_qualifications<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with two indexes,<\/span>candidate_id<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>qualification_id<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Candidate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Qualification<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>models, define a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>HABTM Relationship<\/span><\/a>. You do not need to make a new<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>CandidatesQualification<\/span>Model,<\/span>\u00a0cake\u00a0<\/span>will do it on the fly.<\/span><\/p>\n
