Re: AppController::beforeRender usage question.

Just to offer an additional option, if you still want to do it in beforeRender you can unlock fields and unlock actions in the Security Component, this will stop it from creating a blackhole but you are losing a bit of the security by doing so. This is usually used when performing ajax for example... I don't recommend doing it if you can avoid it.

Generally you get the black hole if you add fields to the form without using the form helper.
If you need to add information to the form that is not exposed to the user, use hidden fields.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to "add" data fields to $this->request->data within the AppController::beforeRender() function.  When the view is created, all of the data fields exist, but when the form is submitted... the great blackhole appears.

I probably need to just put the additional fields in while in the controller, but was trying to use the beforeRender call back to keep DRY!

Thanks for any assitance,
Greg
