Re: Delete confirm

@AD7Six

Apologies, but I am still struggling with this. I have deployed your
code as is, with the following changes:

I have removed this line:
if (isset($this->params[CAKE_ADMIN]) && !$this->RequestHandler->isAjax
()) {
$this->layout = 'admin';
}
...because it errors and is not relevant to me.

Same with this line:
if ($this->javascripts) {
$this->set('javascripts', $this->javascripts);
}

I am not using admin routing, so have changed references to
admin_delete to delete.

This line errors:
$this->Security->__generateToken($this);
...but works if I change the double underscore to a single underscore.

I have created the _generic folder and put the confirm_action view in
it.

I *think* I understand what is going on in the code. It picks up that
I am calling the delete action via a link (and therefore a GET). As
'delete' is in the $postActions array, I am directed to the
_confirmAction function. This renders the confirm_action view, which
contains a form that calls the delete action via a POST. When I submit
the form it ought to come back into app_controller and pass through to
the delete action. However, I am still being directed back to the
confirm_action view.

Stumped. I notice that it is calling Security->_generateToken. Should
this be being picked up anywhere else? If not, what is its purpose?

I appreciate your help. This is gnawing away at me and I can't work it
through.

Thanks.
