First, a general point. Rather than having separate entries for label
and the input, try:
echo $form->input('xxx', array('label'=>'Xxxx'));
(where xxx is the name of your field and Xxxx is your label).
This works for me when confirming that passwords match:
'password1'=>array(
'password_1'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter a password.',
'required'=>true,
'last'=>true),
'password_2'=>array(
'rule'=>array('between', 8, 20),
'message'=>'Your password must be between 8 and
20 characters
long.'),
),
'password2'=>array(
'match'=>array(
'rule'=>'validatePasswdConfirm',
'required'=>true,
'allowEmpty'=>false,
'message'=>'Your passwords do not match')
)
You'll notice that the rule for validating password2 is
'validatePasswdConfirm'. Place this function in your model:
function validatePasswdConfirm($data) {
if ($this->data['User']['passwd'] !== $data['passwd_confirm']):
return false;
endif;
return true;
}
For the role field, it looks as if your syntax is a bit muddled. Try
something along these lines:
echo $form->input('role', array('type'=>'select', 'empty'=>true,
'options'=>$roles, 'label'=>'Role'));
$options is the array that contains the allowed values and can be set
in the controller - particularly useful if you are extracting them
from a table.
Hope this helps.
