Here's a custom validation rule that works:
function hasOnePhone() {
$addressTypes = array(
'OrderAddress',
'BillingAddress',
'Customer'
);
foreach ($addressTypes as $addressType):
if (isset($this->data[$addressType])):
if (
$this->data[$addressType]['phone_home'] != null
|| $this->data[$addressType]['phone_work'] !=
null
|| $this->data[$addressType]['phone_cell'] !=
null
):
return true;
endif;
endif;
endforeach;
return false;
}
...called like this in you $validate array:
'phone_home' => array(
...other rules...,
'hasOnePhone' => array(
'rule' => 'hasOnePhone',
'message' => 'You must enter at least one phone
number.',
'last' => true
),
...
),
'phone_work' => array(
...other rules...,
'hasOnePhone' => array(
'rule' => 'hasOnePhone',
'message' => 'You must enter at least one phone
number.',
'last' => true
),
...
),
...and so on.
This actually checks across three models in the data array. You can take out
the [$addressType] foreach loop and simply hard code the name of your model.
