I think I may have answered my own question... Looking *outside* of the data validation chapter in the manual and skimming through the "model" chapter, I found the beforeValidate() method. With a description:
"Use this callback to modify model data before it is validated. It can also be used to add additional, more complex validation rules, using Model::invalidate()." So I assume beforeValidate() can be used to run custom validation from within the model and trigger the invalidate() method if something fails. I suppose this topic just turned into a note for other "n00bs" with similiar issues... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
