Re: Problem with hasOne Relation

Ok let me try to explain.

I have two tables involved: users, user_profiles

Of course there is a model-file to any of the tables so: user.php,
user_profile.php
The models are linked via a "hasOne"(parent key user_id) relationship.
(which is working perfectly).

But now I want to implement a method that gives users the possibility
to alter their own profiles. Therefore I created an "editProfile"
method in the UsersController and a corresponding view-file
"edit_profile.ctp" in views/users.

Within this view-file I created a form using the formhelper:

echo $form->create('UserProfile');
echo $form->input('id');
echo $form->input('name');
echo $form->end('Save changes');

That is great because creating the form using "$form-
>create('UserProfile');" makes it automatically fill in the values
from the database. My problem occurs when it comes to submitting the
form. Cake recognizes the "UserProfile" model and tries to use the
"UserProfileController" which does not exist. I want to use the
UsersController to do that job. I mean I know I could use "$form-
>create('User');" in order to get it working but that makes it
impossible for cake to fill out the form automatically. I don't really
get why using the "User" model doesn't work. For there is an existing
relationship the "User" model should be able to pass on the
user_profiles datas.
