thank you for your response, however when I did that as the link on my
leads/view I got an error...function addactivity() not defined in
leads controller,
I searchrd through the manual and found this "If the ID for the post
is at $post['Post']['id']...
<?php echo $html->hidden('Comment/post_id', array('value' =>
$post['Post']['id'])); ?>
Done this way, the ID for the parent Post model can be accessed at
$this->data['Comment']['post_id'], and is all ready for a simple $this-
>Post->Comment->save($this->data) call.
These same basic techniques will work if you're saving multiple child
models, just place those save() calls in a loop (and remember to clear
the model information using Model::create())."
But I don't understand it
Thanks
