Re: Making form widgets in cakephp

What version of Cake are you using? Some of your syntax seems a little old. Normally you would do this:

<?php echo $this->element('elementName'); ?> rather than renderElement (which I *think* is from an earlier version?).

You can echo out the flash message:

<?php echo $this->Session->flash(); ?>

Note that I am using an upper case S in Session, which is the accepted way in version 1.3.

What error are you getting when you code your way, and do they improve when you make the changes above?
