Re: updating a value when user clicks a link

Hi

Well its during the creation of an advert that the relevant field in appointments would need to be updated so it seemed like the best place to do it

thanks

You've got create() in the wrong place. That should come first, if
it's included at all. See the API:

http://api.cakephp.org/class/model#method-Modelcreate

$this->Advert->Appointment->create(array('Appointment' => array('id'
=> $appointment_id)));

That will initialize the instance with the appropriate id.

Actually, why are you calling create() on Advert, instead of
Appointment? I'm guessing there's more to this method.
