so, I was finaly able to do it like this:
events controller, after save:
$event_id = $this->Event->getLastInsertId();
$this->Session->write('Event.id', $event_id);
users view:
$event_id = $session->read('Event.id');
echo $form->input('Event.id',array('type' => 'hidden', '
You would only need to use the getLastInsertId() if you had inserted
something and then immediately needed to add related data.
If your forms walk you through some process which goes to another
controller, you'd either need to pass the data along, or fetch it
again.
Like I said before, I have a
what your question.

Subject: Re: getLastIns
does this mean I can't use getLastInsertId() if I inserted the event
in another controller? (this was one of my original questions)
In the events controller, I save the event, then redirect to the user
view. In the user controller is where I'm trying to get the event_id
I just inserted.

It will only return a value after you do an insert (a save of the new
Event).
Post the action you are having trouble with, and perhaps we can spot
the issue.

eeerrr, this is not working.
I have this in the User model:
var $hasMany = array ('Event');
this in the event model:
var $belongsTo = array (
'User' => array(
'className'=> 'User',
'foreignKey'=> 'creator_id',
)
);

provided you've correctly set up your model associations, which I think are:
User hasMany Event
Event belongsTo User

thanks for all the responses, sorry for being slow, but I don't

where do I grab the lastInsertId()? in the event_controller? and
then how do I pass it to the user
You don't have to have two forms, you just have to save things in the
right order.
I do this on one of my volunteer signup (http://volunteercake.sf.net).
Before the user is logged in, I display a list of jobs they can sign
up for, if they click on the 'signup' link, I take them to a page that

yep, so the order of things (doing it event first would be)
* show new event form
* on submit, save data to create a new Event record
* grab the 'lastInsertId()' of the event record
* pass this to the view to
You can't have an Event.user_id if there's no User. You're doing this backwards.

The user does not already exist. The event is being created, then
immediately after the user is being created.
I forgot to mention, it occured to me to save the user first, then the
event, but its just for this specific application we decided to do it
this way.
So how do I set the value of the
If Event belongsTo User then you need a user_id field in the Event
table
If you have a two part form which first creates an Event then creates
a User after submitting the Event part of the form you could then pass
$data['Event']['id'] to the User form (will be available after saving
the Event dat
Does the User already exist? Or, is the User being created at the same
time as the event?
Either way, if you create the event with the Event controller, all you
need to do is make sure there's a hidden field for Event.user_id and
that its value is set to the User.id.

I'm not sure I understand this. How would the user controller know
which event its supposed to be related to?
I have the user model set to hasMany Events, and Event belongsTo
User. In the view I have the hidden field as suggested.
then I tried this:
$this->data['Event']['user_i
Whoops! Yes, what Jon said.

After the Event info has been submitted, if your models are set up
correctly, you should get the Event id included in your User form if
it's in $this->data['Event']['id']
User form:
$form->hidden('Event.id')
However, wouldn't it make more sense to submit the User info before
the Event info? I as
I have a multi page input form thingy - on the first page, the user
inputs some event information, then clicks next, this information is
saved, then on the next page, the user inputs some user information,
clicks save, and this information is saved. The issue is, now the
event info has to be asso
