I have a way of doing it, while I am not sure how good it is in
CakePHP terms, but it should work.
Set a variable (Suppose $test) for default value i.e. 'Beavis' in your
controller. But this should be set only in case when no data is posted
which means the page loads for the first time.
In your view file check:
if($test)
//Show your above written code with the test variable
$form->input('User.name', array('type'=>'text', 'value'=>$test));
else
//Show input type with no value, which should pick user entered value
the Cake way when the form is posted
$form->input('User.name', array('type'=>'text'));
Hope this works for you :)
