Thanks Alan, my table is definitely being populated now. I've fixed up
the controller names to follow the convention.
On my PracticeItems/index view I have created a link to the add form
like so:
echo $html->link('add new item', array('controller' =>
'PracticeItems', 'action' => 'add'));
When I arrive at the page, the url is /cakeRoot/PracticeItems/add
When the form submits, the url changes to /cakeRoot/practice_items/add
Why won't $html->link put the url in the conventional format?
(practice_items)
Would it make more sense to say
echo $html->link('add new item', array('controller' =>
'practice_items', 'action' => 'add'));
in order to keep with convention?
Furthermore, when I enable the redirect in
practice_items_controller.php, I get an error when the redirect
executes. The redirect line is as follows:
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
which should take me to /cakeRoot/PracticeItems/index, but instead I
get the error:
Warning (2): Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
by (output started at /var/www/go/htdocs/practicelog/cake/basics.php:
306) [CORE/cake/libs/controller/controller.php, line 644]
EDIT: I fixed this issue by disabling the line that said
$this->set('debug', pr($this->data));
It would seem sending data to the view makes a redirect impossible.
I've included this in case anyone has a similar issue in the future.
