I realized one of the issues, but am still not sure how to solve it.
I use Model's read method to retrieve the data for the edit, however
this stops the validation.
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->User->read(array
('username', 'firstname', 'lastname', 'email', 'animal_id'), $id);
}
I created a variable to try to limit the loading of data from the
database into the form, to allow the validations to occur.
Unfortunately, although this did control when the if statement
executed, the validations did not appear.
Segments of my code:
up top I have var $failSave = false;
function admin_edit($id = hnull) {
if (!$id && empty($this->data)) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid User', true), array
('action'=>'index'));
}
//if form submitted
if (!empty($this->data)) {
//if password changed
//if passwords match
//include password in list of fields
to be saved
$fieldList = ...
$match = true;
}
else {
$this->flash(__('Passwords do not
match', true), array('action'=>'index'));
$match = false;
}
}
//if password not changed, do not include password
in list of fields to be saved
else {
$fieldList = ...
$match = true;
}
if ($match && $this->User->save($this->data, true,
$fieldList)) {
$this->flash(__('The User has been saved.',
true), array('action'=>'index'));
$this->failSave = false;
} else {
$this->data['User']['password'] = '';
$this->data['User']['password'] = '';
$this->failSave = true;
}
}
//load form
if (!$this->failSave && empty($this->data)) {
debug($this->failSave);
$this->data = $this->User->read(array
('username', 'firstname', 'lastname', 'email', 'animal_id'), $id);
}
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
