This isn't too tricky to fix.
Essentially you want to reload the form if registration fails? Like
Paul said above, you need to be doing the validation in the Model, and
use the Model->validates() method to test for it.
So, if you build the validation criteria in the model (have a look at
the Book if you don't know how, it explains it well), then you need to
control registration using a simple if statement in the controller:
if($this->Model->validates()) {
//do registration logic here e.g.
$this->Model->create();
if($this->Model->save($this->data)) {
//do stuff for successful registration here
}
}
// since we didn't trigger the validates = true, the data didn't
validate so just reload the controller, which will be filled
automagically with
// validation errors
I hope that makes sense? Then making it reappear in the lightbox is
just a case of ensuring that your lightbox script supports loading new
content from within it. I like colorbox, personally, but there are
lots of great scripts!
Hope that helps,
