I'm working on a project that has a quick contact form that send
emails to the site owner. The form is in an element and available to
the whole site. I'm using a controller called Mailer to handle this.
Mailer has a model to validate both fields, email and message, and
uses no tables.
If a user fills in both forms and hits send the email is sent and
$this->redirect($this->referer()) takes them back to the page that the
contact form was used on. The problem I'm having is when I add
validation into the mix. I can't redirect back to the sending page and
display validation errors. If I take the redirect out of the picture
then the controller will want to send them to a view, in this case /
mailer/send_email.ctp. The validation errors show up on this page. Is
there anyway to get the validation errors to show up without having a
view? Here is what I've got so far.
Here is my controller code:
function sendEmail() {
if($this->Mailer->create($this->data) &&
$this->Mailer->validates())
{
$this->Email->to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$this->Email->subject = 'Quick Contact Form';
$this->Email->replyTo = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$this->Email->from = $this->data['Mailer']['email'];
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->template = 'contact_notify';
//set variables for email message
$this->set('email', $this->data['Mailer']['email']);
$this->set('message', $this->data['Mailer']['message']);
//send email
if ($this->Email->send()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Your Message Has Been
Sent.');
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('We Apologize, Your
Message Could Not Be
Sent At This Time.');
}
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Please Fill in All
Appropriate Fields.');
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
}
