Re: display user ID

I'd go with euromark's answer :) He's right about the field being easily manipulated.

A hidden field could accomplish exactly what you are looking to do. 

$form->input('User.user_id', array('type' => 'hidden', 'value' => $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id')); 

The user id will accessible in your controller through $this->data

Hello,

I have a add view that you have to be logged in to get to.

What i am trying to do is add the UserID of the person creating the record to the table so that later i can display only posts that relate to him/her.  I have a field called user_id and sort of hoped that Cake would do a similar thing to "created" and just fill it in but alas no.

I think what i need to do is create a hidden field in my form thats value is generated from the Auth session data but i am not sure how to go about it.

Can anyone help?
