Form validation always returning false with no errors! - El Forum - 04-18-2012

I have literally been staring at this for 5 hours. It's probably something really simple. Please help before the find me hanging from the rafters (joke)

The Controller

Code:
&lt;?php

class Admin extends CI_Controller

{

 function __construct()

 {

  parent::__construct();

  $this->load->library('ion_auth');

  $this->load->model('admin_model');

  $this->load->helper('form');

  $this->load->library('form_validation');

 }

 function index()

 {

  if(!$this->ion_auth->logged_in() || !$this->ion_auth->is_admin())

  {

   $this->session->set_flashdata('message','You need to be logged in to access this area of the site');

   redirect('auth/login','refresh');

  } else {

   $this->load->view('admin/admin_home_view');

  }

 }

 function manage_home_page_content()

 {

  if($this->ion_auth->logged_in() && $this->ion_auth->is_admin())

  {

   if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)

   {

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('content_body', 'Content Body', 'required');

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('content_id', 'Content ID', 'required|numeric');

    $content = $this->admin_model->get_home_page_content();

    $data['message'] = $this->session->flashdata('message');

    $data['error'] = $this->session->flashdata('error');

    $data['content_id'] = $content['content_id'];

    $data['content_body'] = $content['content_text'];

    $this->load->view('admin/manage_home_page_content_view',$data);

   } else {

    $content_id = $this->input->post('content_id');

    $data['content_body'] = $this->input->post('content_body');

    $data['content_updated_by'] = $this->ion_auth->user['user_id'];

    $data['content_updated_time'] = time();

    if($this->admin_model->edit_home_page_content($content_id,$data) == TRUE)

    {

     $this->session->set_flashdata('message','Changes Saved Succesfully');

     redirect('admin/manage_home_page_content');

    } else {

     $this->session->set_flashdata('error','Error updating content. Please try again');

     redirect('admin/manage_home_page_content');

    }

   }

  } else {

   $this->session->set_flashdata('message','You need to be logged in to complete this action');

   redirect('auth/login','refresh');

  }

 }

}

The Model

Code:
&lt;?php

class Admin_model extends CI_Model

{

 function __construct()

 {

  parent::__construct();

  $this->load->database();

 }

 function get_home_page_content()

 {

  $this->db->select('content_id, content_body');

  $this->db->where('content_page','home');

  $query = $this->db->get('content');

  $results = $query->result();

  $content['content_id'] = $results[0]->content_id;

  $content['content_text'] = $results[0]->content_body;

  return $content;

 }

 function edit_home_page_content($content_id,$data)

 {

  $logged_in_user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();

  $content_edited_by = $logged_in_user['user_id'];

  $data['content_updated_time'] = time();

  $data['content_updated_by'] = $content_edited_by;

  return $this->db

   ->where('content_id',$content_id)

   ->update('content',$data);

 }

}

and the view

Code:
&lt;?php

$this->load->view('header_view');

?&gt;

 <div id="content-full">

  &lt;?php $this->load->view('admin/admin_menu_view'); ?&gt;

  <div id="content-full-right">

   <h3>Edit Home Page Content</h3>

    <div class="errors">&lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;</div>

    <p>&lt;?php echo $error; ?&gt;</p>

    <p>&lt;?php echo $message; ?&gt;</p>

    &lt;?php

    $attributes = array('class' => 'admin-area-form');    

    echo form_open('admin/manage_home_page_content',$attributes);

    ?&gt;

    &lt;input type="hidden" name="content_id" value="&lt;?php echo $content_id; ?&gt;" /&gt;

    &lt;textarea name="content-body" id="content-body"&gt;&lt;?php echo $content_body; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;

    [removed] 

        //&lt;![CDATA[

        CKEDITOR.replace('content-body', {

         toolbar: 'MyToolbar',

         height: 500,

      filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/pdw_file_browser/index.php?editor=ckeditor',

      filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '/pdw_file_browser/index.php?editor=ckeditor&filter=image',

           });  

        //]]>

    [removed]

    <br />

    <br />

    &lt;input type="submit" name="save_changes" value=" Save Changes " /&gt;

   &lt;/form&gt;

  </div> 

 </div>

&lt;?php

$this->load->view('footer_view');

?&gt;

Please. Someone save my sanity.
Thanks

Place your set_rules() outside of the run() method check.
