Re: How to validate multiple fields with the same name?
Thanks, I can't believe the solution was so simple! With saveAll() the
data gets validated just as I needed. Thanks!!
The only changes I had to do were in the controller
/// IN THE CONTROLLER function listProducts()
data) )
{
$this->Product->set($this->data);
if( $this->Product->saveAll($this->data) )
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Product Saved.');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'listProducts'));
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Error saving product!');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'listProducts'));
}
}
?>

Re: How to validate multiple fields with the same name?
You *should* be able to do this with "saveAll". saveAll will validate your
records and then try to save all the records in a single transaction, so you
don't have to validate first and then perform a transaction.
If for some reason you wanted to validate separately- just do:
$this-> Product->saveAll($this->data['Product'], array('validate' =>
'only'))
to just perform validation on your records

Re: How to validate multiple fields with the same name?
Sounds like a challenge! The only way I can think of is to write a
custom validation rule that checks each of the submitted Product Names
- have a read at:
http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1179/Custom-Validation-Rules
Let us know how you get one! Might be handy in the future...

How to validate multiple fields with the same name?
Hello people. I been trying to validate a form with several product
names but haven't been succesful. The last two days were spent
searching for a way to do this but with no results either.
The thing is I have a view with a form with a single field:
product_name and the necesary code in the controller to recieve $this-
>data, and save if the data passed validation, and the model with the
validation method to check if the name is unique, not too short or too
long and not empty.
// IN THE VIEW list_products.ctp
Form->create('Product');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.product_name', array('label'
=> 'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.provider_id', array('type' =>
'hidden', 'value' => 'whatever number' ));
echo $this->Form->end('Save Product');
?>
/// IN THE CONTROLLER function listProducts()
data) )
{
$this->Product->set($this->data);
if( $this->Product->validates($this->data) )
{
$this->Product->begin();
if( $this->Product->save($this->data['Product']) )
{
$this->Product->commit();
$this->Session->setFlash('Product Saved.');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'listProducts'));
}
else
{
$this->Product->rollback();
$this->Session->setFlash('Error saving product!');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'listProducts'));
}
}
}
?>
/// IN THE MODEL
array(
'minLength'=>array(
'rule' => array('minLength', 5),
'message' => 'Too short',
),
'maxLength'=>array(
'rule' => array('maxLength', 200),
'message' => 'Too long',
),
'notEmpty' => array(
'rule' => 'notEmpty',
'message' => 'You can't leave this
empty',
),
'isUnique' => array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'message' => 'Name not unique',
),
),
);
}
?>
But now I have been trying to change this view so I can type 1 to 5
product names at once.
So my view now looks like this (which I found how to do it in the
cookbook):
Form->create('Product');
echo $this->Form->input('Product.0.product_name', array('label' =>
'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.1.product_name', array('label' =>
'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.2.product_name', array('label' =>
'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.3.product_name', array('label' =>
'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.4.product_name', array('label' =>
'Product Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('Product.provider_id', array('type' =>
'hidden', 'value' => 'whatever number' ));
echo $this->Form->end('Save');
?>
This way I have $this->data looking like this:
Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[product_name] => name 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[product_name] => name 2
)
[2] => Array
(
[product_name] => name 3
)
[3] => Array
(
[product_name] => name 4
)
[4] => Array
(
[product_name] => name 5
)
[provider_id] => whatever number
)
)
Now, the problem is that I can't figure out how to validate $this-
>data[Product]. The model always return as if the validation was
correct and the controller proceeds to save. I know that I have to
change the controller to saveall() instead of saving a single field
but still, no matter how I set the data before validation it doesn't
validate.
Please help!!!
