Sorry that makes no sense. Add or remove from what fieldname since we do not know the name? How do you validate the name of the field when the name is generated dynamically?
User makes a quiz with 20 questions, 15 questions that will need a text area, the other 5 are yes/no radio inputs. There are no names such as password, email as you noted in overriding validation the fields are dynamic so there is no way to know the name to hardcode it ahead of time. Field names end up being : " name="data[Question][q-123asd569yhu]", we do not know the names of the fields <input type="text" id="QuestionQ1" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q1]"> <input type="text" id="QuestionQ2" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q1]"> <input type="text" id="QuestionQ3" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q1]"> <input type="text" id="QuestionQ4" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q1]"> <input type="text" id="QuestionQ5" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q1]">…… and so on <input type="text" id="QuestionQ123456789" class="form-control" name="data[Question][q123456789]"> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen S Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2014 4:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Validate Dynamic Forms You can add and remove validation rules on the fly before you check if the form is valid. http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/data-validation.html#dynamically-change-validation-rules On 22 May 2014 19:50, Advantage+ <[email protected]> wrote: I am building a questionnaire where the user can add questions to a form (either yes or no or text answer response) So the Question has id, quiz_id, question, type (text or true / false), But how would you validate this? In the view I simply do a foreach ($questions as $question){ echo $this->Form->input($question['question']['id'], array( 'label' => $question['Question']['question'], 'type' => $question['Question']['type'], 'div' => false)); But how do you validate this since model validation will not know these input / field names The fieldname will be dynamic.
