$this->set(compact('task_id'));
This will fail because Cake will unleash Inflector and change the
variable name to $taskId. You need to use:
$this->set(compact('task_id'), false);
That will give you a view variable $task_id. Or you could just build
your link with $taskId.
However, you probably already have this data available in your view.
You haven't explained exactly what you have going on in
TasksController. Presumably, this link (to create a Note for a Task)
is for the view of the TasksController::view action (using 'view' for
an action name is just too damned confusing, I know). If you post the
code for that action, we can show you exactly how to create the link.
It's likely that it's in $this->data['Task']['id'] or $task['id'] or
similar. It depends on the controller code you have.
