To ensure that both models show validation errors, just call
validates() manually (which will in turn invalidate() each field that
does not match).
$this->User->set( $this->data );
$this->Profile->set( $this->data );
$user_validates = $this->User->validates();
$profile_validates = $this->Profile->validates();
if ( $user_validates && $profile_validates ){
// ok to proceed, save both models
} else {
// validation error, show form again
}
Perhaps explain more about what this custom validation entails. If
possible, all validation should be done in the model files themselves
(in beforeValidate() ), so the above code would work fine. But
otherwise, you can always have whatever you like, and just call
something like $this->User->invalidate('name', 'That name is silly');
