Hey all! I have to say this community is awesome. I'm pleased to see there is help for newbies like me.
I have an issue which I need suggestions for. I like doing things the proper way and not creating an obtuse mess of code to do something simple. Here it is: Uses Auth (nothing crazy) View - register.ctp contains a registration form: <?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('action' => 'register')); echo $this->Form->input('full_name', array('label' => 'Full Name')); echo $this->Form->input('email_register', array('label' => 'Email')); echo $this->Form->input('password', array('type' => 'password', 'label' => 'Password')); echo $this->Form->input('password_confirm', array('type' => 'password', 'label' => 'Confirm Password')); echo $this->Form->hidden('role', array('value' => 'student')); echo $this->Form->end('Register'); ?> Then, the layout it uses (login.ctp) calls another form: <?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('action' => 'login')); echo $this->Form->input('email', array('label' => false, 'type' => 'email_login', 'value' => '', 'placeholder' => 'Email')); echo $this->Form->input('password', array('label' => false, 'type' => 'password_login', 'value' => '', 'placeholder' => 'Password')); echo $this->Form->submit('GO', array('class' => 'login_submit')); echo $this->Form->end(); ?> My problem is that when register.ctp passes the data to the User.php model, and does the validation, the login.ctp form gets the 'message =>' from the model as well as the register.ctp form. Now, I need both the register.ctp and login.ctp form to check the database if the email exists, run the validation if it's valid, etc etc. I think you get the idea. My first idea was to change the login.ctp form from input('email' to input('email_login' and have it act the same as the normal email, just ignore the validation message. I looked and looked and couldn't find any examples of how to achieve this. Any suggestions?
