$displayField – title override in CakePHP
Had a problem this morning, I’m using non standard title field in my table (I’m experimenting with different ways of making a db multilingual). CakePHPexpects to see a field called “title” to populate drop downs etc when using $belongsTo – it’s one of Cake’s automagic field conventions. To override this however, you can in the model specify the field you would like to use e.g.
var $displayField = ‘yourTitleField’;
Inspired by this query on the CakePHP google group.
