Re: Adding to db without going to view..?

Hi Rich

Thanks for that !! One more question..
If I want to change the
($this->UserFavourite->save($this->data)) {

where the controller gets the info from the view..
echo $form->input('user_id');
echo $form->input('item_id');

I want the controller not to go the the 'add' view but just add user
(in the session)($session->read('Auth.User.id')), to db, and also the
item_id which will be given in the URL like so:
testsite/user_favourites/add/2

Any idea how to do this??

Regards
