Cakephp 3.6: Create new view with dropdown and check boxes
I am building a task manager application and among other I have these tables:
TaskTypes : [id, name, instructions]
TaskElements : [id, name, description, task_type_id, element_category_id]
ElementCategories : [id, name]
In the TaskTypes view.cpt I want to create a button which will open a new screen where the user can select an Element Category from a drop down menu and then will see a table with all the TaskElements that belong to this Element Category. Each row (Task Element) will have a checkbox, so the user can select Task Elements and then with a Submit button the selected Task Elements will be duplicated with the task_type_id filled from the TaskTypes view.cpt.
Because I am fairly new to cakephp I have these questions:
How I can write the code to update the table based on the dropdown selection?
I have created these new files:
addelementindex.ctp and AddElementController.php:
AddElementController.php:
<?php
namespace AppController;
use AppControllerAppController;
/**
* AddElement Controller
*/
class AddElementController extends AppController
{
/**
* Index method
*
* @return CakeHttpResponse|void
*/
public function index()
{
$elementCategories = TableRegistry::get('ElementCategories')->find('list', ['limit' => 200]);
$this->set(compact('elementCategories'));
}
}

What you're looking for is Ajax. Should be lots of examples out there of using Ajax to populate a page based on a dropdown selection. For the Ajax side of things, it doesn't care at all that your application is implemented in CakePHP, so you don't need to find a solution that's Cake-centric.
