Re: app attempting to insert records rather than update
Thanks, Brian for all your input. I agree, the code was pretty
difficult to understand. After spending tons of time staring at the
code, I realized there was a simpler and more correct way to do it. I
rewrote it and it's working for the most part now. I still have to work
out a few kinks, though.

You have a couple of instances with $this->Merit->save($this->data)

hich model are you working with?
Sorry, I've never used the WizardComponent so this is a bit opaque to me.

It's really stumping me. Any idea what's going on? Since my primary
key on Merit is application_id, should Cake already know that if I'm
trying to set $this->Merit->id?
The PK for Merit should be "id", not "application_id". That should be
a foreign key pointing to applications table.
If you post the code for the controller action we might be able to sort it out.

Re: app attempting to insert records rather than update
That's a bit difficult to follow. At what point are you calling
_processMerit()? And you have an empty block inside wizard()? Is that
on purpose?
You have a couple of instances with $this->Merit->save($this->data)
but I only see where you're reading data from the DB for Application.
hich model are you working with?

Re: app attempting to insert records rather than update
What get you printed out doing a print_r($data) just before the: if
($this->Merit->save($this->data)) {return true;} ?
What if you save the ID manually into $this->data ?
$this->data['Application']['id'] = yourIDFromYourSession();

Forget about storing the id in a session and just include the field in
the form. Cake will automatically hide it from the user.

app attempting to insert records rather than update
I'm building a scholarship application using Cake. I have an
Application model and a Merit model and I'm using a wizard component I
picked up from the Bakery. The Application model has a hasOne
relationship to Merit. I want my users to be able to come back to edit
the stuff they've already saved to the merits table. My app works fine
the first time a user goes through the process. The problem I'm having
is that when they want to edit the data (btw, it loads the data from the
db fine), it attempts to insert a new record rather than update the
current. Here's my relevant code:
In the controller:
$this->Merit->id = $this->Session->read('application_id');//I've done a
pr($this->Merit->id); and it is has the right application id
if($this->Merit->save($this->data)) {return true;}
In the model:
var $name = 'Merit';
var $belongsTo = array('Application' => array(
'className'=> 'Application',
'foreignKey'=> 'application_id'
));
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head on
the wall over this.
Thanks,
