Re: modifying a Baked function

Thanks for the response.

The main thing I am trying to do is make sure my index.ctp, view.ctp,
and add.ctp pages only return and show the data for the current logged
in user.id.

For instance, it is easy enough to work with related data to a
specific user after they are selected from the user view but if I want
to add new records to a related table, the Baked forms for add.ctp
show all the users in the users table in a pull down input field. I
deally this would be a hidden input of just the user.id from the
view.ctp. I want to make sure any new rows added are automatically
assigned to the specific user, once they are logged in. This seems
like it should be simple, but everything I try does not work.
