Answer 1

CakePHP is designed to automatically validate model and display validation errors. Auto validation runs on model save. In your case:

$this->Task->save($this->request->data);

above will trigger validation. There is no need to run: $this->Task->validates() - If you do so, you also have to take care of displaying validation error by your own. So I think you simply should try:

request->is('post')) {
      // If the form data can be validated and saved...
      if ($this->Task->save($this->request->data)) {
         //saved and validated
      }
    }
  }
}
