Re: Problem in using elements

That is what I wrote you! You want to show the edit form (from the
edit element) in another view, that is use it within another action
(controller/foo), am I correct?

So in your foo action, you have to make sure that the $this->data
array is filled with the same information as in the edit action -
which means that you have to fill is with the user data, just as you
did in the edit action.

[code]
function foo() {
// some other code
$this->data = $this->User->read(null, $id);
}
[/code]

This is because the form helper in your edit element reads the data to
use from the $this->data array!
Hope the above helps you on the way,
John
