That sounds familiar ;)
I wouldn't override validates, as on CakePHP 1.1 the parameter to
validates() has a different meaning to the one you are using, while in 1.2
validates() is supposed to take no parameters ($data parameter is
deprecated.)
I think it'd be better to have it as a separate function (something like
expects())
Also it wouldn't hurt to back the validation rules and restore after
validation. Once again, on AppModel:
function validateFields($fields)
{
if (!isset($this->__backValidateRules))
{
$this->__backValidateRules = array();
}
$ignore = array_diff(array_keys($this->validate), $fields);
foreach($ignore as $field)
{
$this->__backValidateRules[$field] =
$this->validate[$field];
unset($this->validate[$field]);
}
}
function validates($param)
{
$validates = parent::validates($param);
if (isset($this->__backValidateRules))
{
foreach($this->__backValidateRules as $field => $rule)
{
$this->validate[$field] = $rule;
}
$this->__backValidateRules = array();
}
return $validates;
}
So this way after validation is performed rules are restored to their
original state.
PS: Note that I'm not doing anything with validates() parameter, I'm just
passing it through.

Asunto: Re: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
This overrides built-in validates and allows you to pass an array of
field names that you want to check. Pretty much like the one above but
I didn't like how that one permanently changed the fields that were
set for model->validate. Bonus would be to make it so you could change
the rules by passing an assoc array of new rules.
