Form Validation in a /folder/controller/method doesn't work? - El Forum - 05-02-2013

Hi all,
I'm new to CodeIgniter and I'm stuck with a form validation problem. Until now I made some forms with validation using Form Validation library with no problems, but this one isn't working.
- I've the controller that call the view with the form (function new_product()) and save the data (function save_product()) in "controllers/user/products.php".
- The view with the form is in "views/user/products/new_product.php".
- The config for the validation is inside "config/form_validation.php".
If I move the controller to the parent directory (controllers/product.php) and update the form_open and the form_validation config the validation works!! But the same inside the controllers/user directory doesn't work. Do you know why??
My files resumed:
- Controller controllers/user/products.php -
Code:
public function new_product()
{
$this->load->view('user/products/new_product');
}
public function save_product()
{
$this->load->library('form_validation');
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
echo validation_errors(); // Only for testing. It only outputs something when the controller is in the main controllers folder, nothing inside controllers/user.
}
else
{
echo "ok!"; // Only for testing
}
}- Form view views/products/new_product.php -
Code:
...
<?php echo form_open('user/products/save_product'); ?>
...
<?php echo form_close(); ?>- Configuration config/form_validation.php -
Code:
...
'user/products/save_product' => array(
array(

What uri are you calling the controller from? You do realise that you will have to include the folder in the uri right?
Code:

You mentioned that the file is named "product.php", but your URI says users/products (plural). Is that a typo?

Yes, it was an error writing the post, but the file is 'products.php', that's correct.

See the files, I think the uri's are correct.
