Hello,

I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious here, but... well, I'm 
probably blind...

I've been trying to fire a userDefined validation function (1.2:5695), 
to check whether a unique key already exists in the DB.

In my $validate in the Logtype class I've got: (excerpt)
'name' => array(
    'unique' => array(
                'rule' => array('userDefined', 'Logtype', 'checkName'),
                'message' => 'Logtype name must be unique.'
            )
)

and, I've got this function in my Logtype class also (the 'Temp' 
parameter in the find-call is just for test purposes)

    function checkName() {
        if ($this->findByName('Temp')) {
            return false; // error - a Logtype with this name already exists
        }
        else {
            return true;
        }
    }

Problem is, only thing this throws back into my face is "*Fatal error*: 
Using $this when not in object context in 
*/usr/home/mln/sarbe/models/logtype.php* on line *43*", line 43 being 
the if-statement of the function.

Thus having demasked myself as somewhat of a newbie, I hope somebody is 
able to enlighten me :-)

Yours
Morten
