Re: Fixing form ID

I have a login form in my default layout (as opposed to its own
template file, and will probably be moving it to an element soon) but
here is the code in my default layout. I didn't have to make any
changes to any of the login code.

Also, it sounds like you made a login model and then baked that into a
controller and views (I'm guessing this is why you have forms with ids
of loginedit, loginadd, loginview etc... the login should generally be
actions in the users controller/model/classes (not sure on the term
I'm really looking for here). I recommend not using any baked code
when setting up the login using the auth components.

Anyway the form ID really doesn't matter, the name is the important
part and should match the model that has your usernames and passwords.

if ($this->here != "/users/login") {
echo $form->create('User', array('url' => array('controller' =>
'users', 'action' =>'login')));
echo $form->input('User.name', array('label'=>""));
echo $form->input('User.password', array('label'=>""));
echo $form->end('Login');
}

This is the identical form I used in login.ctp only encased in an if
so that it doesn't show up if we're on the stand alone login page.

I'd suggest going back over this section and follow it step for step.
