hello,

I have two models: Item, List_Locations.
When I assign locations to a new Item through the form's multi select, the list_location_id array is sent to the item's create_action method.

in it, the way I am able to save the selected choices are:

foreach(Input::post('list_locations') as $location) {
$item->list_location[] = Model_List_Location::find($location);
}

Is this correct?
It would seem that there should be an easier way to assign the input array of location to the item-> side
OR
at least do a $item->list_location[] = Model_List_Location::find(Input::post('list_locations'));

Any advice would be great.
Thanks.

You could fetch them all in one go using

Model_List_Location::query()->where('id', 'IN', Input::post('list_locations'))->get();

assuming that you have validated the input first.

Why would this NOT work:

    $item = Model_Item::forge(array(
              'name' => Input::post('name'),
              'list_locations' => Model_List_Location::query()->where('id', 'IN', Input::post('list_location_id', array()))->get(),
      ));

and this does:

    $item = Model_Item::forge(array(
              'name' => Input::post('name'),
      ));
    $item->list_locations = Model_List_Location::query()->where('id', 'IN', Input::post('list_location_id', array()))->get(),

Does forge only work on the listed '$_properties'? 'list_locations' is a _many_many property

forge() does not support loading relations at the moment. Why? Never implemented.

If you want this, please create a feature request for it at https://github.com/fuel/orm/issues.
