Thanks.
This is what I did in my view for add.ctp
echo $form->input('user_id',array('value' => $user['User']['id']));
But, I would like to make this statement invisible, as I am pulling
this data for a logged-in user and he does not really need to see his
ID. I tried to remove the echo, but in that case it does not populate
the "id" field and sets it to default 0.
thanks.
