Question:
My jQuery code is:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('#StudentRegisterForm').validate({ rules: { email: { required:true, email:true } } }); }); and in my form email:
<td><?php echo $form->input('email',array('class required email')); ?></td> The problem is jquery validate plugin works on the input fields attribute 'name' but cakephp names it as data[Student][email]. If I use this name in jquery its throwing an error. If I rename the field in cakephp the email value is not passed to the database. Is there any other round about way?
Solution:1
You need just need a minor tweak, set the rule using a string, like this:
$(function(){ //short for $(document).ready(function(){ $('#RegisterForm').validate({ rules: { "data[Student][email]": { required:true, email:true } } }); });

I had exactly this problem yesterday. The answer is to 'force' the name on the input field, like:
echo $form->input('cheque_number',array('name'=>'InvoiceChequeNumber','value'=>'')); I spent a while trying to avoid doing that, but I couldn't find any alternative. There are no problems for CakePHP when you do it like this.
Solution:3
The first one is better to use, because this will maintain cake this->data structure, but second one is not. This is to remind that, when you will use the data[modelname][fieldname] give the class name in the input aray like:
<?php echo $form->input('email',array('type'=>'text','class' => array('required','email'),'error'=>false,'label'=>false,'div'=>false)); ?> Note:If u also have question or solution just comment us below or mail us on toontricks1994@gmail.com
