It wouldn't require much Cake knowledge as much as basic programming
knowledge to create a custom validation rule.  You would liek that
your field is unique, so here is what you could do:

add this to your model:

function uniqueValidation($data, $field){
  $list = $this->Model->find('list' array('fields'=>$field));
  if(in_array($data['Model'][$field], $list)){
    return false;
  }else{
    return true;
  }
}

and this on top...

var $validate = array(
 'field' => array(
   'rule' => array('uniqueValidation', 'field1'),
   'message' => 'The name is already taken, please choose another
one.'
 ),
 'field2' => array(
   'rule' => array('uniqueValidation', 'field2'),
   'message' => 'The name is already taken, please choose another
one.'
 ),
 );

You could even add the function to your app_model and use it through
your whole application.
