Hi I'm using cake 1.1 and am fairly new to it - I've inherited a
fairly complex application which I have been tasked with updating.
My problem/situation is this:
I have a registration form which takes input and updates a User
table. However, there are certain fields that need to be captured
that don't update the underlying table/model. These fields are
captured purely to be sent to the site administrator via email.
I have created a dummy controller with $useTable = false and a
$validate array and I have referenced this model in the form inputs.
so my markup looks something like
$html->input('Userforename')
$html->input('User/surname')
-- additional User fields follow --
then I have for the non User model fields
$html->input('Formextra/misc1')
$html->input('Formextra/misc2')
$html->input('Formextra/misc3')
$html->input('Formextra/misc4')
In my user-controller I have added the following
var $uses = array('Formextra','User');
yet when I submit the form - the user validation is called and works
but the non-User validation (Formextra) does not validate.
Coudl anyone shed some light on this or is there better way to take
form input that is not destined to update the underlying table.
