    copied!<p>I have tried to get this function working in the desired way but not having much luck. The good news is, is that it works. Only thing I wanted to get working correctly is the field validation error messages which I managed to, but could not login in even if the username and password were correct. I have rolled back the function in the hope that someone could shed some light on this for me please.</p> <pre><code> function login() { $this-&gt;layout = 'login'; $this-&gt;set('title_for_layout', 'Login'); if (!empty($this-&gt;data) &amp;&amp; $id = $this-&gt;Auth-&gt;user('id')) { $this-&gt;User-&gt;id = $id; $this-&gt;User-&gt;saveField('last_login', date('Y-m-d H:i:s')); $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('You have successfully logged in', true)); $this-&gt;redirect(array('action'=&gt;'index')); } } </code></pre> <p>The validation which I have setup in the users model:</p> <pre><code>var $validate = array( 'username' =&gt; array( ), 'login' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; 'isUnique', 'message' =&gt; 'This username has already been taken', ), 'pattern' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; array('custom','/[a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]{6,}$/i'), 'message' =&gt; 'Must be 6 characters or longer with no spaces', ), 'length' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; array('maxLength', 15), 'message' =&gt; 'Please keep username under 15 characters', ), 'notempty' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; array('notempty'), 'message' =&gt; 'Username cannot be empty', ), ), 'password' =&gt; array( 'notempty' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; array('notempty'), 'message' =&gt; 'Password cannot be empty', ), 'length' =&gt; array( 'rule' =&gt; array('between', 5, 15), 'message' =&gt; 'Passwords must be between 5 and 15 characters long with no spaces', 'on' =&gt; 'create', ) ) ); </code></pre> <p>I shall unset certain validation rules for the login, I for now would just like to get the validation actually working in the correct manner.</p> <p>Really, I have three questions...</p> <ol> <li><p>Why is my validation not working correctly?</p></li> <li><p>How can I display messages from the <code>AuthComponent</code> in my views?</p></li> <li><p>How can I temporarily disable the <code>modified</code> field in my table from updating?</p></li> </ol> <p>Many thanks!</p>
