You were close. I believe it should be something like:

var $criteria_conditions = array(
array(
‘name’ => ‘search_sdt’,
‘fields’ => array(‘Job.start_date’),
‘condition’ => ‘>’
),
);

hello and thanks for making such a useful component. i'm kind of n00b to cakePHP so naturally i'm running into some problems. essentially, i'm trying to search through a list of records by date. ideally, the user would specify a date and the app would search the table for all records whose 'start_date' field was < the date specified. so if the search criteria was Jan 1, 2008 - it would pull up everything before that date. here's my setup: table name: jobs search field name: start_date default.ctp


create('Job', array('action' => 'index', 'class' => 'advanced_search'));
			echo $form->input('search_sdt', array('default' => @$this->params['named']['search_sdt'],'div' => false, 'type' => 'date'));
			echo $form->submit('Go!', array('div' => false,));
			echo $form->end();
			
			echo $form->create('Job', array('action' => 'index', 'class' => 'advanced_search'));
			echo $form->input('clear_conditions', array('type' => 'hidden', 'value' => 1, 'div' => false,));
			echo $form->submit('Reset', array('div' => false,));
			echo $form->end();
			?>

jobs_controller.php


var $components = array(
			'SqlConditions' => array(
			'conditions' => 'criteria_conditions',
			'admin_conditions' => 'admin_criteria_conditions',
			'active_actions' => array('index', 'admin_index'),
		),
	);
	
	// For use with SqlConditions component.
	// Regular Site Search Conditions
	var $criteria_conditions = array(
		array('name' => 'search_sdt', 'fields' => 'Job.start_date', 'type' => 'date', 'condition' => ' 'admin_search_sdt', 'fields' => 'Job.start_date', 'type' => 'date', 'condition' => 'SqlConditions->build();
		$this->Job->recursive = 0;
		$this->set('jobs', $this->paginate($sql_conditions));
	}

i've also copied sql_conditions.php into controllers/components. any help and/or light you can shed on this would be super appreciated. thanks!
