Unable to Show error message in cakephp validation

[muhammadcahya]

I try to implement field in bootsrap like Html->input helper in original cakephp.
In original field, if the value empty or value is invalid from model, the field in view is automatically show error message.

I try in example in BoostCakePassword field, but if my field is empty or value is invalid it's not showing the error message :(

I missing something, or the cakephp validation is not connected with this plugin ?

There's the same problem with auth's flashes.

My Validate code :

<?php
class User extends AppModel{

    public $validate = array(
        'username' => array(
            'alpha' => array(
                'rule' => '/^[a-z0-9-A-Z]*$/',
                'message' => 'Username is not valid'
            ),
            'uniq' => array(
                'rule' => 'isUnique',
                'message' => "The Username is already used"
            )
        ),
        'mail' => array(
            'mail' => array(
                'rule' => 'email',
                'message' => 'Mail is not valid'
            ),
            'uniq' => array(
                'rule' => 'isUnique',
                'message' => 'This Mail Address is already used'
            )
        ),
        'password' => array(
            'rule' => 'notEmpty'
        ),
        'password2' => array(
            'rule' => 'identicalFields'
        )
    );

    public function identicalFields($check, $limit){
        return $check['password2'] ==  $this->data['User']['password'];
    }

}

[slywalker]

It is displayed as this in my environment

Model/User.php

<?php
class User extends AppModel {

    public $validate = array(
        'username' => array(
            'alpha' => array(
                'rule' => '/^[a-z0-9-A-Z]*$/',
                'message' => 'Username is not valid'
            ),
            'uniq' => array(
                'rule' => 'isUnique',
                'message' => "The Username is already used"
                )
            ),
        'mail' => array(
            'mail' => array(
                'rule' => 'email',
                'message' => 'Mail is not valid'
            ),
            'uniq' => array(
                'rule' => 'isUnique',
                'message' => 'This Mail Address is already used'
            )
        ),
        'password' => array(
            'rule' => 'notEmpty'
        ),
        'password2' => array(
            'rule' => 'identicalFields',
            'message' => 'Password is not same'
        )
    );

    public function identicalFields($check, $limit) {
        return $check['password2'] === $this->data['User']['password'];
    }

}

View/Users/add.ctp

<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array(
    'inputDefaults' => array(
        'div' => 'control-group',
        'label' => array(
            'class' => 'control-label'
        ),
        'wrapInput' => 'controls'
    ),
    'class' => 'form-horizontal'
)); ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->input('username'); ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->input('mail'); ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->input('password'); ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->input('password2', array('type' => 'password')); ?>
    <?php echo $this->Form->submit('Submit', array(
        'div' => 'form-actions',
        'class' => 'btn'
    )); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>

It mean message of password2?

@Kareylo
Oh, you mean Auth flash!

Auth flash setting

class AppController extends Controller {

    public $components = array(
        'Auth' => array(
            'flash' => array(
                'element' => 'alert',
                'key' => 'auth',
                'params' => array('plugin' => 'BoostCake', 'class' => 'alert-error')
            )
        )
    );
}

For Auth Flash, it's ok, now, Thanks a lot ! (Don't forget to add that to the doc !)

But, for my validation form looks like:

(The Confirm Password message, I'll change it later, I know) Any idea ?

Here my form :

        <?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array(
            'inputDefaults' => array(
                'div' => false
            ),
            'wrapInput' => 'controls'
        )); ?>
            <?php echo $this->Form->input('username', array(
                'label' => 'Pseudo',
            )); ?>
            <?php echo $this->Form->input('account', array(
                'label' => 'Nom de Compte',
            )); ?>
            <?php echo $this->Form->input('password', array(
                'label' => 'Mot de Passe',
            )); ?>
            <?php echo $this->Form->input('password2', array(
                'label' => 'Confirmer le Mot de Passe',
                'type' => 'password'
            )); ?>
            <?php echo $this->Form->input('mail', array(
                'label' => 'Email',
            )); ?>

            <?php echo $this->Form->submit('S\'inscrire', array(
                'class' => 'btn btn-primary'
            )); ?>

        <?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>

@Kareylo, If you want error color, it need that array('inputDefaults' => array('div' => 'some class or null'))

Yes, I should add doc soon later :)

[Kareylo]

With array('inputDefaults' => array('div' => 'control-group')) It works like a charm. Thx ! 👍

[muhammadcahya]

Ok, sorry I have not checked this issue last a few days
And when I read the comments above, my problem is solved. Thanks 👍
Add in documentation and Close :)
