Disable form security CakePHP

Question

Is it possible to turn of all CakePHP security features for only 1 particular form in a view? So I don't get any hidden fields (tokens) in that form.

Thank you,

Bart

Answer 1

You can disable it for that action via:

public function beforeFilter() {
    parent::beforeFilter();
    if ($this->request->params['action'] == 'action') { 
        $this->Security->validatePost = false; 
    } 
}

Answer 2

In order to remove annoying hidden inputs _Token.key and fields from your form (for instance, to clarify query string when you use GET method), you need to do following stuff on beforeRender in addition to beforeFilter from tigrang's answer:

function beforeRender() {
    parent::beforeRender();
    unset($this->params["_Token"]);
}

(This is actual at least for CakePHP 1.3)
