Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this will not work for me
because it chokes on:
$this->Mark->invalidate('mark_number'.$i, "Mark already exists);
I have two types of marks for input (NewMarks and ExistingMarks), and
they are stored in the data matrix under $this->data['NewMarks'] not
under $this->data['Marks'].
So with the above statement, cake tries to look for the variable
data['Marks'] and invalidate it and I get the error message
Undefined property: ObservationsController::$Mark [CORE\app
\controllers\observations_controller.php, line 134]
Is there any way to invalidate a field directly in the controller if
the field is not attached to any model field?
For example, is there anyway to access the form helper directly in the
controller a.la.
$this->form->error('NewMarks'.'mark_number'.$i, "Mark already
exists" );
The above won't work, but you get the idea. By the way, I am using
the formHelper and validation from 1.2
