how to redirect to app controller to plugin controller file

Question

 <?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('plugin'=>'Usermgmt','controller'=>'user','action' => 'search')); ?>
                        <?php echo $this->Form->input("search" ,array('label' => false ))?>

                        <?php echo $this->Form->Submit(__('Search'));?>

This the code am using for search user name am using this code in view\pages\home.ctp and the search function in plugin is Usermgmt .. but now am getting error using above code

when am click on search it goes to url like Exp/users/search but it should be Exp/usermgmt/users/search

@AD7six cakephp-2.4.5 and actually when am click on search it goes to url like Exp/users/search but it should be Exp/usermgmt/users/search — papa.ramu

The options array is malformed

The second parameter for Form::create is $options - the api (and the source, on which the api is based) lists the available options:

type
action
url
default
onsubmit
inputDefaults
encoding

As such, with the following call:

echo $this->Form->create(
    'User', 
    array(
        'plugin'=>'Usermgmt', # <-
        'controller'=>'user', # <-
        'action' => 'search' 
    )
);

Everything marked with an arrow will be ignored.

Use the url key

To change the form action, use the url key:

echo $this->Form->create(
    'User', 
    array(
        'url' => array(
            'plugin'=>'usermgmt',
            'controller'=>'users',
            'action' => 'search'
        )
    )
);

Is it the right url? You need to think about what you are doing/asking :).
