I am sure there are a lot better solutions than this, and more brilliant
coders can help you out, but at least this is what I did.
I used password and password2 (or reEnterPassword however your call it) on
edit.ctp
and use two different rules from the User model
on Model, you will need public $validation as your default rule,
then create public $validationSets (you need a plugin for this. I think it
is multivalidate)
and you would create validation something like
public $validationSets = array(
'edit' => array(
YOU DO ADD PASSWORD SECTION HERE
},
'add' => array(
whatever rule you want
},
'editWithOutPassword' => array(
Rules WITHOUT PASSWORD HERE
)
);
Then on UsersController.php, you would call it something like
public function edit($id = null) {
if edit with password {
$this->User->setValidation('edit');
and do whatever your code here
} else {
$this->User->setValidation('editWithOutPassword');
And here, you will have to compile your own list of forms you need to save
without password.
something like
$fieldsToUpdate = array(your field list here);
$formValues = array(your form values here);
$this->User->read($fieldsToUpdate, $id);
$this->User->set($formValues);
and rest of your save code here
if($this->User->save()) {
User has been saved
} else {
User could not be saved.
}
}
}
