Re: Adding to db without going to view..?

You use it the way you have it and just change the section in the add
function to redirect . . .

-> $this->redirect(array('action'=>'view'));

Every function should have a related view file unless you state
otherwise with a layout call.

if your action is "add" then you have to have an add function in the
controller, which uses the add view. . . .just redirect it in your
statement.

function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->UserFavourite->create();
if ($this->UserFavourite->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
UserFavourite has been saved', true));
$this-
>redirect(array('action'=>'view'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
UserFavourite could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
$this-
>redirect(array('action'=>'view'));
}
}
}

hope this is a start
