I have created a Controller, a model and a view for this. I want to make a form in CakePHP. But this is not working and till now I cannot understand the reason why is this happening...
My code for the controller is:
class MlistsController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Html','Form');
public function create() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Mlist->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('okay..'));
$this->redirect('action' => 'index');
}
}
}
}
My Model is:
App::uses('AuthComponent', 'Controller/Component');
class MList extends AppModel {
public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
$this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);
}
return true;
}
public $validate = array(
'listname' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'A listname '
)
),
'replyto' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'email' => 'email'
)
),
'fromName' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'Your name'
)
),
'subject' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'A subject '
)
),
'reminder' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'A reminder '
)
),
'contactsfile' => array(
'required' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'custom message'
)
));
}
And my view file create.ctp is:
<h2>Create new list</h2>
<?php
$this->Form->create('Mlist');
echo $this->Form->input('listname',array('label' => 'Your ListName:'));;
echo $this->Form->input('replyto',array('label' => 'Reply To email:'));
echo $this->Form->input('fromName',array('label' => 'From Name:'));
echo $this->Form->input('subject',array('label' => 'mail subject:'));
echo $this->Form->input('reminder',array('label' => 'Reminder'));
echo $this->Form->input('contactsfile',array('label' => 'Upload your file','type' => 'file'));
echo '<br />';
echo $this->Form->end('submit');
Finally, the Submit button of the form is not even green, but grey and does not function when I click it. Also the star symbol (*) is not showing apart the form labels where the fields are required...
Can you help me with this issue?
