Hi Bakers, I want to get your opinions on the best approach to a feature i need.
I have a model, who's table has a field called full_details (enum with Y, N ). If the row has this set to N, only a few of its fields need to be validated - if it's set to Y, most fields require validation. My current thinking is to change the model's beforeValidate callback, which looks at the current record/details for the new record, and if full_details='Y', it dynamically add new validation rules to the model - i.e something like $this->validate['field_name']='VALID_NOT_EMPTY' //do this for various fields The model's standard validation would then pick this up. Is this a good approach? Are they any 'gotchas' about it? Are there others approaches I haven't thought of?
