Re: Overriding form helper error messages in CakePHP 2.0

Just did some testing. It worked for a rule 'notempty' but is ignored for the rule 'unique' (or isUnique).

Hi all.

I have the following $validate in my User model:

        var $validate = array(

                'email'=>array(

                        'required'=>array(

                                'rule'=>'notEmpty',

                                'message'=>'cannot be blank'

                        ),

                        'email'=>array(

                                'rule'=>'email',

                                'message'=>'must be a valid email address'

                        ),

                        'unique'=>array(

                                'rule'=>'isUnique',

                                'message'=>'that email is already in use'

                        )

                ),

                'password'=>array(

                        'required'=>array(

                                'rule'=>'notEmpty',

                                'message'=>'cannot be blank'

                        ),

                        'length'=>array(

                                'rule'=>array('minLength', 6),

                                'message'=>'must be at least 6 letters, numbers or symbols'

                        ),

                        'matches'=>array(

                                'rule'=>'passwordsMatch',

                                'message'=>'passwords do not match'

                        )

                )

        );

And I'm trying to override the 'unique' email address message in my

form with:

echo $this->Form->input('User.email', array(

        'error'=>array(

                'unique' => 'That email is already in use. Have you ' . $this->Html->link('forgotten your password',

array('action'=>'forgotten_password')) . '?'

        )

));

But it's still displaying the default validate message, not the custom

one.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
