You don't need to have the user ID in the form. Not unless you might
have an admin creating songs for another user. You can remove the
user_id hidden field and do this:
function add()
{
/* create var here so it's only read once but
* there's no need to set it for the view
*/
$user_id = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');
if (!empty($this->data))
{
/* add current User's ID to data here
*/
$this->data['Song']['user_id'] = $user_id;
$this->Song->create();
if ($this->Song->save($this->data))
{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Song has been saved',
true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Song could not be
saved. Please,
try again.', true));
}
}
$catalogs = $this->Song->Catalog->find(
'list',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'Catalog.user_id' => $user_id
)
)
);
$this->set(compact('catalogs'));
}
I'm assuming that Catalog has a user_id field. If that's not the case,
post your Catalog and Song models.
