Re: Validate from within a model
You can also create the folders and make the writable before hand, that way the file will always upload.

Re: Validate from within a model
Why don't you just validate that the destination folder exists and is

Re: Validate from within a model
Okay.
I'm doing it like this.
I'm havin a new file uploaded.
The file data, like mime type, name etc. will be saved in the db under
the file id.
I'm using that id as a filename for the files in my filesystem.
So i need to first create a db record to use the id.
Afterwards i'm trying to save the file.
If for example the folder for the upload is not writable or i don't
have the permission or any other case i can't figure out now happens,
then i want to cancel the upload and delete the db record so i won't
have 2 or more of the same file in the database.
This user is getting an error message that something fails during the
file upload and also i want to let the users know what they are
supposed to do next.
This is my intention.
And i would never validate file uploads with javascripts because of 2
reasons:
First, i don't know how
Second, i know enough to know that this kind of validation wouldn't be
save enough ^^
Nothing against you, but js alone isn't the key.

Re: Validate from within a model
You dont need to use validates(), just set an error manually.
$this->invalidate('fields', 'Error message.');
Also, your approach is still wrong IMO. You should be doing all error
checking before any save functionality is triggered. In what scenario
will the image NOT copy/transfer? I have yet to ever run into that
problem.

Re: Validate from within a model
okay...i think i got it.
It is part of the MVC pattern, isn't it?
The model is NOT connected to the view or the helpers. These two are
getting their data or the invalid error messages by the controller.
Am i right here?

Re: Validate from within a model
I can re-save and delete, so why i shouldn't be able to revalidate?
The error message is also in the "validationErrors" variable but while
the output of the form there is no error message.
But why?

Re: Validate from within a model
You can't validates() something after the model save has already
happened. Use a behavior for validation or use my plugin.

And an example model on how to use it.
