}
?>

a model referral_model.php with the following content

<?php
class ReferralMedium extends AppModel
{
    var $name = 'ReferralMedium';

    var $useTable="referral_mediums";

    //$validate set in __construct for multi-language support
    //The Associations below have been created with all possible keys, those that are not needed can be removed
    var $hasOne = array(
        'UserProfile' => array(

            'foreignKey' => 'referral_medium_id',
            'dependent' => false,
            'conditions' => '',

    );
    var $hasMany = array(
        'UserProfile' => array(
            'className' => 'UserProfile',
            'foreignKey' => 'referral_medium_id',
            'dependent' => false,
            'conditions' => '',
            'fields' => '',
            'order' => '',
            'limit' => '',
            'offset' => '',
            'exclusive' => '',
            'finderQuery' => '',
            'counterQuery' => ''
        )
    );
    function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) 
    {
        parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
        $this->validate = array(
            'referral_medium' => array(
                'rule' => 'notempty',
                'allowEmpty' => false,
                'message' => __l('Required')
            ) ,
        );
    }
}
?>

a add view referral_mediums/admin_add.ctp with the following code

<?php /* SVN: $Id: $ */ ?>
<div class="referralMedium form">
<?php echo $form->create('ReferralMedium', array('class' => 'normal'));?>
    <fieldset>
        <h2><?php echo __l('Add Referral Medium');?></h2>
    <?php
        echo $form->input('referral_medium');
        echo $form->input('is_active');
    ?>
    </fieldset>

   <div class="submit-block clearfix">
    <?php echo $form->submit(__l('Add'));?>
    </div>
    <?php echo $form->end();?>
</div>

Now all works fine except if I click on the add button in the add form I get redirected to admin/referral_media/add instead of admin/referral_medium/add and I can’t find the problem. I would be greatful I someone could help me with this.

Answer 1

the plural of medium is media, not mediums. The controller name is plural, so it’s referral_media. So you’ll need to change your controller name (and the file name).
