I've always just gone with an edit action that does both new and
edit. Then I can use the existence/lack of an id to tell them apart.
So on the view I can do:
if ($this->data['Post']['id']) {
echo 'Edit Post';
} else {
echo 'New Post';
}
I prefer this to having two views and an element, since it's only one
view to manage and one controller action.
If I really wanted /Post/add url I would just add a route and point it
to the edit action.
