I am trying to create a registration page with three steps using cakePHP. The first step is fine, it inserts the data in db, but the second step does not work. Can anyone help?
Here is my controller code:
<?php
App::uses('Controller', 'Controller');
class UsersController extends AppController {
public $name = 'Users';
public function beforeFilter(){
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow('signup');
}
public function login(){
if($this->request->is('post')){
if($this->Auth->login()){
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Invalid username or password!', 'default', array('class' => 'errormsg'));
}
}
}
public function logout(){
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
public function signup($step = null){
$this->set('s', $step);
if(empty($step)){
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->write('regUser', $this->request->data['User']['email']);
$regUser = $this->User->find( 'first', array('conditions' => array(
'User.username' => $this->Session->read('regUser'))));
$id = $regUser['User']['id'];
$this->Session->write('regUserId', $id);
$this->redirect(array('personal-info'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash( 'There was an error, please check the fields bellow!',
'default', array('class' => 'errormsg'));
}
}
} elseif($step == 'personal-info') {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$id = $this->Session->read('regUserId');
$this->User->id = $id;
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('The user has been saved');
$this->redirect(array('complete'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('User could not be saved. Please, try again.');
}
}
} elseif($step == 'complete') {
}
}
}
?>
Here is the model:
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
public $validate = array (
'name'=>array(
'Please enter your name!'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter your name!'
)
),
'surname'=>array(
'Please enter your surname!'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter your surname!'
)
),
'email'=>array(
'Valid email'=>array(
'rule'=>array('email'),
'message'=>'Please enter a valid Email address!'
),
'Already exists'=>array(
'rule'=>'isUnique',
'message'=>'This Email is already registered in our database!'
)
),
'password'=>array(
'Not empty'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter your password!'
),
'Match password'=>array(
'rule'=>'matchPasswords',
'message'=>'Your passwords do not match!'
)
),
'password_confirm'=>array(
'Not empty'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please confirm your password!'
)
),
'terms'=>array(
'Agree'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'required'=>true,
'message'=>'You must agree to Terms and conditions!'
)
)
);
public function matchPasswords($data){
if ($data['password'] == $this->data['User']['password_confirm']){
return true;
} else {
$this->invalidate('password_confirm', 'Your passwords do not match!');
return false;
}
}
public function beforeSave(){
if(!empty($this->data['User']['password'])) {
$this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']);
}
if (empty($this->data['User']['username'])) {
$this->data['User']['username'] = $this->data['User']['email'];
}
return true;
}
}
?>
And here is the view for signup.ctp
<?php if(empty($s)): ?>
<div id="register" class="container padded">
<div id="register">
<div class="paginate active">Register</div>
<div class="paginate">Personal Information</div>

<? endif; ?>
So, as I said in the first step, everything is fine, it saves the user in the database, but in the second step I would like to add more information, and when I send it, a Session flash message will be displayed in which the user cannot be saved, so that means that the second user information is not stored in the database.
Please, help!
