I have a form that won't save data because of a validation error, but
the validation errors are not appearing in the form. The flash message
that the data could not be saved appears, but not the individual error
messages. I think I've got everything set up the same way that I did
for another form that is working correctly, but obviously missing
something.
The Model:
class PrivateMessage extends AppModel {
var $name = 'PrivateMessage';
/* Validations */
var $validate = array(
'subject' => array(
'rule' => array('minLength', '1'),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please provide a subject.'
),
'message' => array(
'rule' => array('minLength', '1'),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please write a message.'
)
);
Part of the controller:
function reply($to=null,$reply_to=null,$message_type='reply') {
// reply_to is the id of the message being replied to
// if $this->data is not empty, write the message to the
database
and redirect
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->PrivateMessage->create();
// The message will be from the current member
$this->data['PrivateMessage']['from_member_id'] =
$this->Session-
>read('Auth.Member.id');
if ($this->PrivateMessage->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your message has
been sent.', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
pr($this->data); // this is showing that the
data has a blank
subject
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your message could
not be sent.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
....
}
Part of the view (reply.ctp):
<div class="privateMessages form">
<?php echo $form->create('PrivateMessage', array('action' =>
'reply'));?>
<?php $session->flash(); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __('Send '.$message_header);?></legend>
<?php
echo $form->hidden('to_member_id',array('value'=>$to));
echo $form->hidden('is_reply_to_message_id',array('value'=>
$reply_to));
echo $form->input('subject',array('value'=>$subject));
echo $form->input('message');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $form->end('Send message');?>
</div>
pr($form);
?>
The pr($form) in the view shows no validation errors, but the form
does not save (correctly) when I leave the subject or message blank.
Any help or suggestions on where to look for more help would be much
appreciated.
thank you.
