I struggled with this, excactly this week! I'm doing it by heart right
now, but I guess you can guess the gist of it.
Basicly, build the add form at page that you want. Use the $form-
>create('Model', array('url' => '/controller/add')) to redirect to the
add action of the controller you want after the button-click...
Then to catch and display the validation-errors (assuming you set them
in your Model), in the add function do this:
if ($this->Model->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Thing stored');
} else {
if (!empty($this->Model->validationErrors)){
//Validation error, display errors in Session->Flash()
$errors = $this->Product->validationErrors;
foreach($errors as $error):
$errortext .= '- '.$error.'<br />';
endforeach;
$this->Session->setFlash($errortext);
} else {
//Not stored, but no validation errors, probably a
database problem
$this->Session->setFlash('Database Problem');
}
}
Then redirect to the add/index-page and it'll display the validation
errors (The text you stored in the model) in a list in the session-
>flash, just make sure you display that...
Hope it helps!
