Neil -
I am new Cake user, but I was able to get validation working with
forms for different models.
By setting the error messages in the model. Here's a snip from my
User model:
'city' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('minLength', '1'),
'last' => true,
'message' => 'Please enter your city'),
'alphanumericplus' => array(
'rule' => array('custom','/^[a-z0-9\- ]*$/i'),
'last' => true,
'message' => 'Only letters, numbers, spaces and
hyphens allowed'),
'maxlength' => array(
'rule' => array('maxLength', '50'),
'last' => true,
'message' => 'No more than 50 characters'),
),
I believe the first "minLength" rule is redundant because looking at
the docs/api, "allowEmpty" defaults to false. Maybe someone else will
comment on that.
In the controller you can check the validation errors by using:
$this->User->validationErrors
Not sure if that helps.
Regards,
Jeremy
