Re: unset($this->params['data']) Not Working???

The part he is trying to avoid is the display of the page that just says "Your data has been saved" without the form.

I am not sure that your solution will accomplish this but I will give it a try.  It seems like it would just skip the message all together.

I'm building a similar app designed for rapid data input, and my needs
are similar to yours. I didn't like the flash() function either, but
(as described above) the following works just fine for displaying a
message at the top of a new empty form:

$this->Session->setFlash ("Your enhancement has been saved, Go on, add
another one!");
$this->redirect ($this->controller/action);

Why write a new status message handling mechanism when one already
exists in Cake (the flash message)? Doing it this way also means you
don't have to do anything to your view.

I also go a bit further, because sometimes my users want to save, then
fill out a new form which gets input which is very similar to the one
they just saved. For this I just do the save, set the flash session
variable to my message, unset the hidden variable
$this->params['data']['id'], and let the rest of $this-params['data']
fall through to the new form - prefilled for them.

I'm very new to Cake and this forum, so please be easy on me if I'm
missing something.

Thanks.
