My validation is working as it stands, but I want to display the validation error prior to the search controller. I understand this might not be possible within the CakePHP framework.
I have a model *plan.php*. And in the *plans_controller.php*, I have a function called *search()*. My form calls *search()* as expected (because there is no search model): echo $this->Form->create('Plan', array('action' => 'search')); As it stands, when I submit my search, the errors are displayed and the url changes to .../search, so no results are displayed ("There are 0 results for that search criteria", but the correct validation errors are displayed below required form fields. I do not want the .../search url to be displayed. I want the form to "halt" and just display the validation errors w/out changing the url to the search function. I am calling the search form within an element because the search form displays on several different pages. To sum this up: The search form should validate w/out changing the url path to the controller action name of the search. Of course, the validation is done IN the search() and plan.php model, so I just don't know how to work around this and wondering if its even possible. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
