You have to do this manually since you have <code>$this->autoRender</code> set to <code>false</code>. You could use <code>render()</code> to do this. More info can be found at <a href="http://book.cakephp.org/view/980/render" rel="nofollow">its respective cookbook page</a>.</p> <p>If you have <code>$this->autoRender</code> set to <code>true</code>, then it'll replace the contents of #message_board with the contents of <code>add.ctp</code></p> <hr> <blockquote> <p>The flash message "Add action called" is NOT set from the controller (or any of the flash messages, for that matter)</p> </blockquote> <p>I think you have to refresh the page or the part which contains the <code>$this->Session->flash()</code> bit for flash messages to appear.</p> <p>The fact that the flash message appeared when you refreshed the page means that it did call and run the action.</p> <p>AFAIK, you can only put/print one message from the flash key in the <code>Messages</code> array. The flash key is where the flash messages are stored by default. Each call to <code>setFlash()</code> will overwrite the flash message set by older calls.</p> <p>Since only the second flash message was displayed, we could say that it failed at passing at least one of the conditions following the second call to <code>setFlash()</code> in the controller. You might want to put <code>debug($this->data)</code> statements near the conditions related to <code>$this->data</code> to help yourself in debugging your problem.</p> <p>You could also use <code>debug()</code> to know if your application went through a certain action or path since it will almost always be displayed.</p> <p>So you could do the following to check if it passed this condition:</p> <pre><code> if(!empty($this->data)) { debug('Passed!'); </code></pre> <p>If 'Passed!' will be printed after submitting the form, we would know that it passed that condition.</p> <hr> <blockquote> <p>However the new message was not saved</p> </blockquote> <p>It might be because $data is empty or it failed at validation. If your <code>$data</code> is not empty, it might have failed at validation and since your form doesn't display the validation errors; you might never have noticed them. One way to know if it passed validation is to do the following:</p> <pre><code> $this->Message->set($this->data); if ($this->Message->validates()) { debug('it validated logic'); } else { debug('didn't validate logic'); } </code></pre>
