    <p><strong>Description</strong></p> <p>I have a simple form on every page of my site - a single input and a submit button. The point is just for the user to enter his/her email address and hit submit.</p> <p>It works if the data is an email address - but if it's not a valid email address, it submits the form, the page reloads (or whatever), and the flash message comes up instead of my model's more specific "not a valid email" error.</p> <p><strong>Question:</strong></p> <p>So, how do I use the model's validation message instead of the controller's generic one?</p> <p><strong>The form:</strong></p> <pre><code>echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;create('Email', array('class'=&gt;'form1', 'url'=&gt;'/emails/add', 'inputDefaults'=&gt;array('label'=&gt;false))); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('Email.email'); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end('SIGN-UP'); </code></pre> <p><strong>The email controller "add" function (or method?):</strong> </p> <pre><code>function add() { if (!empty($this-&gt;data)) { $this-&gt;Email-&gt;create(); if ($this-&gt;Email-&gt;save($this-&gt;data)) { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('The email address has been saved', true)); $this-&gt;redirect($this-&gt;referer()); } else { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('The email address could not be saved. Please, try again.', true)); $this-&gt;set('error', 'custom error here'); $this-&gt;redirect($this-&gt;referer()); } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>And the email model:</strong></p> <pre><code>class Email extends AppModel { var $name = 'Email'; var $validate = array( 'email' =&gt; array( 'is_valid' =&gt; array( //named whatever we want 'rule' =&gt; 'notEmpty', 'rule' =&gt; array('email', true), 'message' =&gt; 'Please supply a valid email address.', 'last' =&gt; true //causes it to not check the next rule if this one fails ), 'is_unique' =&gt; array( //named whatever we want 'rule' =&gt; 'isUnique', 'message' =&gt; 'That email address is already in our database.' ) ), ); } </code></pre>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
