Say you wanted to do validation on a users table, so in your model you define in your beforeValidates function 2 rules, one to check if the username already existed (for registering a new user), and one to check if the username was present in the table (for logging in).
Instead of creating a couple of functions called validateRegister and validateLogin (which have each of the rules for validation inside) which you would call in different places in your controller logic, you could keep your beforeValidates function which then uses the controller action (via a reference) to run a function based on it (beforeValidatesRegister / beforeValidatesLogin). You could pass the controller action in via a this->User->set(....) in the controller and use that but i could do it in one hit with a reference and have access to other stuff (maybe the controller name or URL or something). Any thoughts on the best way to achieve what i want?
