I want to post data to a controller in CakePHP, but posting with JQuery always results in an error and I can't figure out why. In my view I have the following method, that posts the data to the controller page <pre><code>function RenameNode(name, id) { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: '<?php echo Router::url(array('controller' => 'categories', 'action' => 'rename')); ?>', data: { id: id, name: name }, success: function(){ } }); } </code></pre> My controller method looks like this: <pre><code>public function rename($id = null, $name = null) { if ($this->request->is('get')) { throw new MethodNotAllowedException(); } if(!$id) { $id = @$this->request->query('id'); } if(!$name) { $name = @$this->request->query('name'); } if (!$id) { throw new NotFoundException(__('No id')); } $category = $this->Category->findById($id); if (!$category) { throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid category')); } $this->autoRender = false; $this->layout = 'ajax'; if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) { $this->Category->id = $id; $this->request->data['Category']['name'] = $name; if ($this->Category->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The category has been updated.')); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('Unable to update the category.')); } } } </code></pre> When I do a post with the jquery method, I keep getting the following error message in my log: <pre><code>2013-05-20 11:34:25 Error: [NotFoundException] No id Request URL: /cakephp/categories/rename Stack Trace: #0 [internal function]: CategoriesController->rename() </code></pre> When I comment the request checks for get and post, the controller itself works perfectly when I call it with /categories/rename?id=1&name=test. For some reason the ajax way doesn't work, but I can't figure out why. Any ideas? Update I fixed it by changing the following code, now it works perfectly <pre><code> if(!$id) { $id = @$this->request->query('id'); } if(!$name) { $name = @$this->request->query('name'); } </code></pre> to <pre><code> if(!$id) { $id = @$this->request->data('id'); } if(!$name) { $name = @$this->request->data('name'); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
