Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

Thanks for the reply, I seem to have found a way to make this work, by
only checking for the parameter if $data is empty, as otherwise the id
is kept in the data array.

But still not sure if I'm doing things right.

To answer your points below

1.This bit of code is the only part which is doing anything related to
accepting the parameter, the passedArgs seems to be automatically
filled in.

if(isset($this->passedArgs['foreign_id']))
$this->data['model']['foreign_id'] = $this-
>passedArgs['foreign_id'];

2. I do not explicitly pass it to the view, the above code puts the
parameter into the data variable.
3.The form is generated by the form helper, this line is used for the
forigen key, the value gets automaically filled in when I have
assigned it to the data variable,

echo $this->Form->input('foreign_id',array( 'type' => 'hidden'));

Thanks
