If the Order & Customer associations re good then you can grab the
latter's data through the former model, eg.
$this->Order->Customer->whatever()
You can make the route however you want. It could also just be
"/orders/add/:customer_id", for example.
Router::connect(
'/orders/new/:customer_id',
array('controller' => 'orders', 'action' => 'add'),
array('customer_id' => '[0-9]+', 'pass' => array('customer_id'))
);
The add() method doesn't normally take a param but it's easy to do so.
function add($customer_id = null)
{
if (!empty($this->data))
{
...
if ($this->Order->save($this->data))
{
...
}
}
/* prepare to show form
*/
if (!empty($customer_id))
{
$this->data = $this->Order->Customer->read(null, $customer_id);
}
}
view:
debug($this->data); // to check that it worked
echo $form->hidden('Customer.id');
echo $form->input('Customer.first_name');
...
