Re: Overriding form helper error messages in CakePHP 2.0

Hi Richard,

Same here. I'm using 2.2.1. Though the doc said we can do that http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html

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.
