Yes, indeedy. I've been thinking of replying with this link quite a lot lately: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Mostly, though, I just hit "delete" and move on. I'm quite happy to show someone how to do something (or, at least, what worked for me), as starting out with Cake was *very* confusing for me in many ways. If I can help some reach that "a-ha!" moment, so much the better. But that presupposes that the person has made *some* effort. Explain what you've tried so far (and why you thought it might work). Show some RELEVANT code. (Nobody wants to wade through dozensof lines of your HTML template) Tell us what Cake version you're running. Same with PHP and OS, if you think it's relevant. And then there are the opaque questions. Post a coherent question or don't bother. I'm not refering to those people who post here for whom English is not their first language. I mean that, just saying it "doesn't work" or "there's an error" is not helpful. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
