Question

Validations are working but form is not getting submitted and data is not inserted:

addgroup.ctp:

echo $form->create('Group', array('url' => array('controller' => 'admin', 'action' =>'addgroup'), 'onSubmit' => 'return Validate()'));

echo $form->input('name',array('label' => false));

 <input type="submit"  value="Submit"/>

 <input type="button" value="Cancel"/>

Group Model:

var $validate = array(

    'name' => array(    
        'isRequired' => array(
            'rule' => 'required',
            'message' => 'Enter group name.'
        ),      
        'isUnique' => array(
            'rule' => 'isUnique',               
            'message' => 'This group name has already been taken.'
        ),
    ),
);

in controller:

$this->Group->save($this->data,array('validate' => true)

If I make any empty entry or duplicate entry it gives errormessge,
but if I make valid entries then also form gives error-message,
What m I missing here?

Answer 1

you need to close the form $this->Form->end('Submit'); and the save function: $this->Group->save($this->data); It will validate when it saves.
