I have read the posts extensively on this topic and believe I finally
have this working the way I need it to. Just wondering if the gurus
(yes that's you Nate!) could confirm I got it done the right way. I am
quite excited by the richness of the 1.2 validation feature -- I'm
removing all the ugliness I created in the controller making
validation what I needed in the past and am trying to do it the
'right' way in the model only.
I have a user model in which a subset of the fields are required - the
caveat is that only a portion of the required fields are required
during registration (on create) and the balance are required on
updates (my activation and user profile edit actions in which the user
inputs the rest of the required data or edits it).
Not to bore you with repetitive stuff but here's how I handled my zip
code field. Zip is not required on the create operation (Registration)
but is later required on Updates (Activation, Edit, etc).
Apologies in advance for the formatting if it is bad:
var $validate = array(
'zip' => array(
'zip' => array(
'rule' => array('postal', null, 'us'),
'message' => 'Must be a valid zip code.',
'required' => true,'allowEmpty' => true,
'on' => 'create',
),
'zip2' => array(
'rule' => array('postal', null, 'us'),
'message' => 'Must be a valid zip code.',
'required' => true,'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'update',
),
) // END OF ZIP VALIDATION
);
This seems to have the desired results -- is there a more efficient
encoding of these arrays? Does it really matter what I call the array
indices (zip and zip2)? Thanks in advance.
