Body
I'm writing a page where my users can change their account email and password. Here's the controller action and the view: <pre><code># UsersController.php public function edit() { if($this->request->is('post')) { if($this->User->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('Your account has been updated.'); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'edit')); } $this->Session->setFlash('There was a problem saving your account settings. Please try again.'); } // Auto populate form fields if(!$this->request->data) { $this->request->data = $this->User->find('first', array( 'conditions' => array('User.id' => $this->Auth->user('id')) )); } } # edit.ctp <?php echo $this->Form->create('User'); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->input('currentPassword', array('between' => 'You must enter your password in order to make changes', 'type' => 'password', 'value' => '', 'autocomplete' => 'off')); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->input('email'); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->input('password', array('type' => 'password', 'between' => 'Must be atleast 6 characters', 'value' => '', 'autocomplete' => 'off')); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->input('confirmPassword', array('type' => 'password', 'value' => '', 'autocomplete' => 'off')); ?> <?php echo $this->Form->end('Save changes'); ?> </code></pre> Now, I would like to make the user enter their current password in order to make changes. In order for that to work, I need to run a validation check to make sure the password they entered in <code>currentPassword</code> matches what I have in the database. One of the validation rules in my <code>User</code> model is this: <pre><code>'currentPassword' => array( 'custom' => array( 'rule' => 'validateCurrentPassword', 'message' => 'Incorrect password. Make sure you\'re using your current password.' ) ), </code></pre> and the relevant function that gets called: <pre><code>public function validateCurrentPassword($data) { debug($data); return false; } </code></pre> So far so good, but there's some really weird behaviour. Cake only seems to validate this field after two page loads. For example, if I enter a wrong value and press "Save changes" the page refreshes, but no validation errors pop up. If I enter another wrong value, I get the validation errors. For some reason I need to submit the form twice for validation to occur. Can anyone work out why this is?

1. COThat is weird. So, does it display 'There was a problem saving...' the first time you submit the form? The first time you save, is the variable validationErrors set in the controller? DebugKit might help to debug this. Also, do you have any callbacks like beforeSave, afterSave, etc in the model or beforeFilter callbacks in the controller?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
