First off I am familiar with php and mysql, I can create small applications (although they might not be too efficient.) So, I decided to get my feet wet with CakePHP.
I figured I would create a user based system and then can add on aspects of my applications from there. I first started off with the short blog tutorial (so I had something to test my login/protection), after that I created a user/groups/ permissions based login system (with othAuth.) I am understanding how everything works and it all seems to make sense. Now I am at the point were I am trying to have a form so that a certain group can create new members. Using the add posts view page (from the blog tutorial) as an example, I was able to create a form that saves the data to the database. This is were it is becoming a little frustrating, I guess it's because i am not fully grasping how the system handles the data. What I am not fully grasping might have to do with the views/htmls helpers. I can't seem to find any type of documentation as to how it actually works. (I looked at the api but just found that confusing as there were no examples. I learn easier by working backwards and like to see examples.) I collect the password but its saved into the database as clear text, not an md5 hash. I would also like the username to be created based on the first name and last name of the new user. How does one go about modifying the data before it is saved?
