Re: Struggling with first cake development.

Hello Thomas...

Im sort of very new with Cakephp and I'm using/learning v2.3..

I'm not good enough (yet) to know exactly what is wrong, but it seems you didn't follow naming "conventions"...  And as I understood, for the magic to happen, it needs to be consistent..

CategoriesController.php
<?php
class CategoriesController extends AppController {
    public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
    public $components = array('Session');
   
     public function index() {
         $this->set('Categories', $this->Category->find('all'));  // Here, it should be 'categories' (no capital C)
    }   
     public function view($id = null) {
        if (!$id) {
            throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid category'));
        }
        $CatRec = $this->Category->findById($id);  // $categorie = $this..
        if (!$CatRec) { // !$categorie
            throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid category'));
        }
        $this->set('Categories', $CatRec);  // $this->set('categorie', $categorie);
    }
     public function add() {
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
             $this->Category->create();
             if ($this->Category->validates()) {  // I think the validates will be done by itself on the save, you dont need to add it here. (Im not sure though)
           
             if ($this->Category->save($this->request->data)) {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Your Category has been saved.');
              //  $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
            } else {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Unable to add your Category.');
            }
        }else {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Unable to validate.');
            }
       
        }
    }   
}

Category.php

<?php
class Category extends AppModel {
    public $validate = array(
        'Name' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty'), // 'name' => 'notEmpty',
        'Description' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty'), // 'description' => 'notEmpty',
        'Type' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty')  // 'type' => 'notEmpty'  no Capitals, no new array
    );
}

any help appreciated

Thomas 

and seeing your add.ctp would help also if all those changes dont work.
