I dont know if the group is moderated. My previous mail did not appear here so I am posting again. -------------------- Here is my problem , which is very similar to yours Julian.
I have a parent-child relationship , and as usual I have baked the controllers and views using scaffolding. Like you I want to enforce referential integrity. For this I have placed a link to add a child in the parents view. The following link appears in view where parents details are listed. /child/addToParent/1 where 1 is the id of the parent to which the child will be added. Now I have written a controller in the child named addToParent($id) and a corresponding view add_to_parent.thtml to show the form. Now in the controller function I can see the value of id is apearing correctly. What I cant do here is to set the id of the foreign key parent_id to id. I tried the following just before the save, which did not worked. $this->data['parent_id']=$id So my question is how can I set the foreign key. The other thing I would ask is if there is a god tutorial that describes the anatomy of cake. That will be grate. I am encountering the problem becasue I dont know the basic anatomy and ways to manipulate data in deifferent areas. All I could find is the manual at cakephp.
