Re: CakePHP 1.2.6 - problem with displaying form error messages

Hi,

I mean manually because Cake automatically validates data before
saving it when you call Model::save and if validation fails it will
not save it and sets the validation errors for the view.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/75/Saving-Your-Data

There is also no need to call your errors using $form->error('field')
as $form->input('ModelName.fieldname'); will automatically display
errors if they exist.

What I am trying to get at is your doing a lot of unnecessary work
and, in the process, more than likely doing something that is causing
your issue.

Rather then spend time telling you how to fix your unnecessary code it
is much better to inform you that you should be using a much more
streamlined set of code and then you are back to working with
conventions which the community can support much easier. It;s a win
win for you and for those offering your support.

Please try using the code I set out in my original reply and come back
to me with the results. If you are still not getting validation
errors showing you could try adding echo debug($this-
>validationErrors); somewhere in your view and include the information
from that when posting your next reply
