Re: How to have 2 forms on one page for same model

There are some articles on this subject.  You may try this one out.

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/how-to-create-multirecord-forms

It includes a component called Multirecord that does some looping to
handle validation.  Be sure to read the comments, as there are some
bugs in the posted code that the comments address.  On a side note, I
find that this kind of thing is all too common with people (not just
Cake bakers) posting code helpers/examples, etc.

 Hi All.

 I need to have 2 forms on a page that add an item to the db using the
 same model.

 The trouble is,  they are setting each others validation off.

 How can i isolate the forms so they still use the models validation
 but only the form whos button has been clicked gets validated?

 Thanks for any guidence

Thanks,

I got it going in the end although what iv'e done seems a little bit
hacky.  Getting the form to recognise the errors passed back seemed
especially problematic.I just wrote a helper that checks for a
error message in the $invalidFields array and placed them underneath
the form items.  Elegant? Nope.  Pragmatic?  for now.

thanks again.
