Correct, this part I have done. When a new player is saved the
redirect takes you to the action that displays information about the
single user based on the newly created ID.

It could be a mix of miss-reading and me not know exactly the path I
need to use to accomplish my goal. I'm basically checking that the
player about to be added is unique to the server. If they exist on the
server instead of adding another I want to redirect to the existing
users page, the one found by the validation function. In the
validation I do a query with conditions setting the first_name,
last_name, and server_id. If the user exists on that server I don't
want to add another one, and I don't want to display an error, instead
I want to take them to my action for viewing players.
var $validate = array(
'first_name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
),
),
'last_name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
),
),
'server_id' => array(
'rule' => array('onePlayerPerServer'),
'message' => "User already exists on that server.",
),
);
function onePlayerPerServer() {
$player= $this->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array(
'Player.first_name' => $this->data['Player']['first_name'],
'Player.last_name' => $this->data['Player']['last_name'],
'Player.server_id' => $this->data['Player']['server_id'],
),
));
if (!empty($player)) {
return false; //player doesn't exist.
}
else {
return $player['Player']['id']; //player found, return their ID
}
}
Since validate is a success on 0 and fails on anything else I was
hoping to pass back the id that was found. But I'm not sure if my
thought process will work in the way I'm wanting.
Does this make more sense?
