I'm trying to come up with a standard way to create multiple forms for the same model on an index page. Here's a little more detail. I have a list of binders, each with a memo being displayed. I would like the memo fields to be editable from the index page. Obviously it doesn't work to just copy and paste the view for the edit_memo action, like so: <pre><code><?php echo $this->Form->create('Binder');?> <fieldset> <legend><?php __('Edit Memo'); ?></legend> <?php echo $this->Form->input('id'); echo $this->Form->input('memo'); ?> </fieldset> <?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit', true));?> </code></pre> But that's essentially what I'm looking to do. In context, I'm just looping through the binders in the index action and the memos are part of the model. I've tried changing <code>$this->Form->create('Binder')</code> to the following: <pre><code>$this->Form->create(null,array( 'id'=>"BinderEditMemo.$i", 'controller' => 'binders', 'action' => 'edit_memo', 'id' => $binder['Binder']['id'] )); </code></pre> But no luck. The memo field still gets the regular id, so I think I might need to change that as well. When I submit the form it does perform the action, however it does not save. FYI, I have routed the id parameter to the action in my routes. I'm sure there has to be a standard way to render multiple forms in the index loop. Any thoughts?

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.
