I have a model "Attachment" which Belongs to another model (hasMany Attachment).
In model Attachment I put a validator (from the Cake helpbook) to check against filetypes. After saveAssociated i would expect an error if uploaded a .txt file, but the model is save successfully? *Add.ctp* for($i=0;$i<1;$i++) { ?> <div class="row"> <?php echo $this->Form->file('Attachment.'.$i.'.submittedfile'); ?> </div> <?php } *Attachment model:* <?php App::uses('AppModel', 'Model'); class Attachment extends AppModel { public $belongsTo = 'CollectionRequest'; public $validate = array( 'image' => array( 'rule' => array( 'extension', array('gif', 'jpeg', 'png', 'jpg') ), 'message' => 'Please supply a valid image.' ) ); public function beforeSave($options = array()) { parent::beforeSave($options); } public function beforeValidate($options = array()) { // ignore empty file - causes issues with form validation when file is empty and optional if (!empty($this->data[$this->alias]['error']) && $this->data[$this->alias]['error']==4 && $this->data[$this->alias]['size']==0) { unset($this->data[$this->alias]); } parent::beforeValidate($options); } } ?> *Controller* if ($this->CollectionRequest->saveAssociated($this->request->data)) { // All good $this->Session->setFlash(__('CollectionRequest saved')); return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } thanks -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
