Body
I am trying to automatically register users. You enter an email address and it sends the user a password. Sounds simple enough, right? Here are a bunch of things that I've tried in my add action, but none of them work (as indicated). <pre><code>if (!empty($this->data)) { $this->User->create(); $random_pass = $this->Auth->password($this->generatePassword()); // Doesn't work: $user_data['User'] = $this->data['User']; $user_data['User']['password'] = $random_pass; if ($this->User->save($user_data)) { /* ... */ } // Doesn't work: $this->User->set('password', $random_pass); if ($this->User->save($this->data)) { /* ... */ } // Doesn't work: $this->data['User']['password'] = $random_pass; if ($this->User->save($this->data)) { /* ... */ } // Doesn't work: $this->data['User'][0]['password'] = $random_pass; if ($this->User->saveAll($this->data)) { /* ... */ } } </code></pre> According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/960415/cakephp-password-field-is-empty">Why is the CakePHP password field is empty when trying to access it using $this->data?</a> it's because the Auth component is removing the password. Seems common enough, no? So how do I get around it? More information I'm using <a href="http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/ashevat/2010/03/12/how-to-implament-one-time-password-for-forgot-my-password-and-account-activation-processes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this function</a> to generate the password. The add view only has three fields, first_name, last_name, and email (which is assigned to the username field in the Auth component).

Guidance

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.
