Hi Tarique,
I had a look at your solution in the above post and it doesn't work for me,
at least in 1.1.x. From what I can see in Controller::render the code that
sets the validationErrors in the views is:
function render($action = null, $layout = null, $file = null) {
$viewClass = $this->view;
if ($this->view != 'View') {
$viewClass = $this->view . 'View';
loadView($this->view);
}
$this->beforeRender();
$this->__viewClass =& new $viewClass($this);
if (!empty($this->modelNames)) {
foreach($this->modelNames as $model) {
if
(!empty($this->{$model}->validationErrors)) {
$this->__viewClass->validationErrors[$model] =
&$this->{$model}->validationErrors;
}
}
}
$this->autoRender = false;
return $this->__viewClass->render($action, $layout, $file);
}
The problem is that this will only work for first level models (ie. whatever
is in $this->modelNames). If, as it is in my case, you have any associated
models to any of $this->modelNames, it will not fill the validationErrors
array. I started modifying this function in my app_controller.php class and
didn't quite get it right, but it got a lot further than it is now.
I'm not sure how no-one has ran into this problem yet. I, for example, have
a form with some fields from one of the models in $this->modelNames and some
other fields from models associated to the models in $this->modelNames.
What I did was a foreach inside the foreach above and used
$this->{$model}->modelToTables (from memory) to go through all the models
and get the errors for each one and add to
$this->__viewClass->validationErrors. The problem is that it got a bit messy
after I tried to go into 2nd and 3rd level.
Am I doing something wrong? Normally when I see a problem this big I start
to think I'm doing something wrong, otherwise I've no idea how nobody has
ran into it. Perhaps I'm the only twisted one trying to do it this way?
Thanks in advance for any feedback on the above.
Cheers,
Gonzalo
