Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

As I suspected, the issue is when you initially request the form you
are passing it in via $_GET as a named parameter, then when you submit
the form you change to passing it in via $_POST into the model's data
array instead.

I actually do it this way myself and have my method specified as
something like

function add($foreign_id = null) {
$foreign_id = $data['Model']['foreign_id'] ? $data['Model']
['foreign_id'] : $foreign_id;
if (!$foreign_id) {
// error
}
}

You could move this logic to the controllers isAuthorized() method to
throw an auth error

function isAuthorized() {
switch ($this->action) {
case 'add':
$foreign_id = $this->data['Model']['foreign_id'] ? $data['Model']
['foreign_id'] : $this->params['named']['foreign_id'];
if (!$foreign_id) return false;
break;
}
return true;
}

but I think this is wrong as the existence of a foreign_id is not
really an Auth issue. The other method would be to amend $form-
>create in your view so the form submits to '/model/add/foreign_id:1'

No hard and fast answer really.
