$this->data['Event']['user_id'] = $this->Session->read('User.id');
You're setting a foreign key in Event, so it should be in the Event
array and called user_id. But, in the session, you refer to the
User.id, not User.user_id.

Are you sure you want to do this? I'd think it would be better to pass
the Event ID or date or something else. Although, if you *really* want
to only be able to view an Event based on some User's ID, then just
find based on the foreign key:
'conditions' => array(
'Event.user_id' => $id
)

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Hello again,
I have tried your suggestion but it still does not read the value from
the session. I will paste my entire controller code here. Thanks
again:
paginate();
if (isset($this->params['requested'])) {
return $events;
}
$this->set('events', $events);
}
function view($id)
{
$events = $this->Event->User->findById($id);
$this->set('events', $events);
}
function add()
{
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->data += array('User' => array('user_id' =>
$this->Session-
>read('User.user_id')));
if ($this->Event->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("A new event has been
added");
$this->redirect('/events', null, true);
}
}
}
}
?>

At the top of your controller, you should only have to ensure your
$components array attribute includes "Session." For example:
var $components = array('Session');
Then use:
$this->Session->write('User.user_id', $userID);
to write the session variable (replace $userID with the correct user
ID), and:
$current_userid = $this->Session->read('User.user_id');
to read the current user ID.

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Okay, here's what's going on . I am using $this->Session because
$session in the controller causes it blow up.
$this->data += array('User' => array('user_id' => $this->Session-
>read
('User.user_id')));
$this->Project->saveAll($this->data);
However, now when it saves it doesn't grab the value of user_id stored
in the Session. It should insert the value 1 for the user_id but
instead inserts 0
Am I supposed to set something up in order to use $this->Session in my
controller?
Thanks,
Chris

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Actually, can I use the $session helper in a controller? Is it
supposed to be Session ?
Thanks again!

One solution would be to remove the hidden form field and instead
append a new array containing the user_id to $this->data right before
you call saveAll:
$this->data += array('User' => array('user_id' => $session->read
('User.user_id')));
$this->Project->saveAll($this->data);

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. The reason I need to do
this is I need to associate a submitted item (in this case a project)
with the logged in user. Is there another way to do this then?
Thanks again!

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
I have to agree with John here, you should probably try to keep those
sorts of things out of user-submittable forms.
Anyhow, the syntax for $form->hidden() is different than you are
trying to use it as. The second parameter is an $options array, so to
set a default value use:
echo $form->hidden('fieldname', array( 'value' => 'foo' ));

Re: Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Do not do that! Do not expose your user tables primary key like that
for every to see!
Please explain why you would like to do this?

Newbie needs help with hidden input helper
Hey guys,
I have checked the manual and I still find it a little confusing as
far as how to use the hidden input control.
I have a session variable named User.user_id that I want to put in the
hidden input helper but can't seem to get it to work.
I have tried the following: echo $form->hidden('user_id', $session-
>read('User.user_id')); but this does not work. I checked to ensure
that there was indeed something in the session beforehand.
Could someone please help me out with this?
Thank you!
Chris
