Please help me to get the dynamic id of the record in the listing of the records in Cakephp 2.3.9

Question

I used bake to make cms of the settings table.

It contains three fields.

Column Type Null Default id int(11) No
key varchar(10) No
value varchar(200) No

And it have 3 records.

All create functionality is working fine. But delete and edit would only edit/delete the first record.

For getting link...

I used the following code in view file.

 foreach ($languages as $language){
     echo $this->Html->link(__('Edit'), array('action' => 'edit', $language['Language']['id'])); ?>
     echo $this->Form->postLink(__('Delete'), array('action' => 'delete', $language['Language']['id']), null, __('Are you sure you want to delete # %s?', $language['Language']['id']));
 }

I assigned following value to languages variable from controller.

 $this->Language->recursive = 0;
 $this->set('languages', $this->paginate());

Schema:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS languages (
    id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    title varchar(30) NOT NULL,
    slug enum('eng','rus') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'eng',
    symbol varchar(50) NOT NULL,
    status enum('A','I','D') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'A',
    created_dt timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    modified_dt datetime NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id),
    UNIQUE KEY Unique Language code (slug),
    KEY status (status)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;

in your controller do the following

public function edit($id = null) {
    if (!$id) {
          throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid Edit Id'));
    }
    $language = $this->Language->find('first', array(
          'conditions' => array(
                  'Language.id' => $id,
           ),
    ));

    if (empty($language)) {
           throw new BadRequestException(__('Invalid Data'));
    }

    if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) {
         if ($this->Language->save($this->request->data()) {
            $this->Session->setFlash(__('saved'));
         } else {
            $this->Session->setFlash(__('something went wrong'));
         }
    }

    if (empty($this->request->data)) {
        $this->request->data = $language;
    }
}

public function delete($id = null) {
 $this->Language->id = $id;
 if (!$this->Language->exists()) {
     throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid Language'));
 }
 $this->request->onlyAllow('post', 'delete');
 if ($this->Language->delete()) {
        $this->Session->setFlash(__('Language deleted'));
        $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
 }
 $this->Session->setFlash(__('Language was not deleted'));
 $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
