Re: Validating associated models fields - cannot get it working.

Well I've got the validation message to display now, it works but
feels a bit hacky?

I stored the validation errors array in a variable:

<?php $v_errors = $this->validationErrors; ?>

I then accessed the error for the relevant field names and outputted
it if there was an error message:

if (isset($v_errors['Post']['Tag.name'])) { echo "<div class=\"error-
message\">".$v_errors['Post']['Tag.name']."</div>"; }

My guess is that something I did in the controller caused the error
messages not to display for those particular fields. If anybody would
like to shed light on this, I would love to hear it!
