I've been struggling with this for the last hour or so, wondering if some fresh eyes can help.
Model
class User extends AppModel {
public $name = 'User';
public $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'valid' => array(
'rule' => 'email',
'message' => 'The email is not valid'
),
'required' => array(
'rule' => 'notEmpty',
'message' => 'Please enter an email'
)
)
);
}
Controller
class UserController extends AppController {
var $uses = array('User');
function index(){
$users = $this->User->find('all');
$this->set(compact('users'));
}
public function add() {
$this->set('title_for_layout', 'Add new user');
if(isset($this->data) && !empty($this->data)) {
$this->User->set($this->data);
$this->log($this->User->invalidFields(), "debug");
if($this->User->validates()){
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("Added " . $this->data['User']['name']);
$this->redirect('index');
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('There are errors with your form submit, please see below.');
}
}
}
}
View
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User');
echo $this->Form->input('name', array('label' => 'Name'));
echo "<div class='clear'></div>";
echo $this->Form->input('email', array('label' => 'Email'));
echo "<div class='clear'></div>";
echo $this->Form->button('Reset', array('type' => 'reset'));
echo $this->Form->button('Add Useer', array('type' => 'submit'));
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
But I never get invalid fields for email? Have I missed something glaring?
If it makes any difference, this is a plugin Im developing so it doesnt sit directly in app/ but in app/Plugins
Thanks
EDIT: So I've been struggling with this for a while now, and still no joy. One thing I have noticed though, when I print out the model details (using var_dump($this->User) ), the [validate] array is empty. For example:
[validate] => Array
(
)
[validationErrors] => Array
(
)
Im presuming this is what the issue is, even though I have declared my $validate array, its somehow being overwritten? Anyone come across this before? Any solutions?
public $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'valid' => array(
'rule' => array('email'),
'message' => 'The email is not valid'
),
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'Please enter an email',
'allowEmpty' => false
)
)
);
Try adding rules as array and adding 'allowEmpty' key set to false on the required validation.
Damn! So simple. If I read the cookbook properly at http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/view/1114/Plugin-Models it would have told me that
If you need to reference a model within your plugin, you need to include the plugin name with the model name, separated with a dot.
Thus..
var $uses = array('Plugin.User');
works.. Hope this helps someone else!
