Using the latest 1.2 alpha cakePHP I am trying to add a simple
checkbox to a form to indicate the user's acceptance of certain
conditions etc.
ex: echo $form->checkbox('AcceptRules');
However 'AcceptRules' is not a valid field in the model or database.
Currently I manually validate in the controller by:
if ($this->data['Classname']['AcceptRules'] == 1) then it is checked,
if == 0 then not checked. Please note there is no call to "Save" any
contents entered on this form, the form only gets the user's
acceptance of the rules.
My validation code essentially returns the user back to the view with
a flashmsg if he does not check the box.
What I really want is validation similar to what I get for a simple
text field when I specify a field in the DB/model is to be NONBLANK
for example, and then my ensuing "save" call in the controller fails
and when I return to the view it throws a nicely formatted error msg
below the field on return to the form (using nothing more then form-
>input().
How can I accomplish this for a "non-existant" field on a method where
there is no save call? I'm trying to avoid synthesizing what seems to
be built-in very nicely for fields in my models.
I apologize in advance if this has been answered and appreciate the
advice.
