Right, that was a typo, not a paste. I think that you'll be able to better help me if you understand how I've designed my contact form:
Model: Contact[name, email, city, subject, message, and a couple others] Model['validate']: Name, email, and message have 'required' => true Views: index (just passes in a pageTitle from the controller and renders a form from the model using $this->form->create('Contact') or equivalent -- works fine. This form automatically mapped to ContactsController::add(), so I created that method and put all of the relevant mail logic in there. So should I move this logic into index() and force the form to use that method? Or force a render of the index view and find some way to pass in the validation errors? Thanks for the help!
