I am taking a look at cake 1.2, and I run into problems with the
validation
of form data. I took advantage of the console application to bake some
views, a model, and a controller based on an existing MySQL-database.
I
don't yet have a deep understanding of cake, and would happily welcome
hints and pointers which direction I should go.
I am trying to post data from a form to a database. However, whatever
data
I post, I get redirected back to the form, where a label "This field
cannot
be left blank" is attached to all fields. For instance if I fill the
alphanumeric field "last_name" with "Jones" (without qoutes), I will
get
the error message: "This field cannot be left blank". Futhermore,
$this->validationErrors contains all fields and the same error
message. I
have verified that the correct data from the form are assigned to the
controller object's data array with Configure::write('debug', 3);
The view is just a simple form like:
echo $form->create('Lead');
echo $form->input('last_name');
echo $form->input('modified_user_id');
... quite a few more fields here ...
echo $form->end('Submit');
There are also a few form fields added with pure html code. These
fields
are not supposed to be posted to the database, neither be validated
with
the standard cake validation feature.
In the model, there is nothing but "name" and the validation array.
The model's validation array looks like:
var $validate = array(
'last_name' => array('alphanumeric'),
'modified_user_id' => array('alphanumeric'),
--- quite a few more fields here ---
)
The controller's add function:
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->RequestHandler->isPost()) {
$this->Lead->create();
$this->Lead->set($this->data);
if ($this->Lead->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Lead has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Lead could not be saved. Please, try
again.', true));
}
}
}
}
I also tried the following code in the controller: if
($this->Lead->validates()) with the same result.
