RE: Add Fields

It is a separate Additional table with relations to
user hasMany Additional,
Additional belongsTo User

The problem with SCS idea is this is all in 1 form. Does not make sense in
my situation where a user is editing thier profile in 1 form to send them to
another form to edit 1 field, and if they have more than 1 additional to go
thru the repeated process, or fill out half the Profile form to click edit
additional only to find out any data they changed was not saved and have to
go back and edit it all over again. Not going to bother saving to data to
session and all that since this area of the profile is not to important in
terms of the site.

Dave, what is your database design for this issue?
As scs stated, are you saving the additional information in a separate table
or in the profile table as 10 independent columns?
Depending on your answer, we will try better to help you :) In my own
opinion, scs' idea is sound!
And if I remember correctly, then CakePHP can accepts more than one record
for the related table if you use the form field definition as
Model.indexNumber.fieldname - example: Userinfo.0.uservalue.
That should also make it easier for you to create the 10 additional
information form fields by looping!
Enjoy,
John
