Hello
I'm trying to create a user registration form. I'm having a few weird
problems with this, mostly having to do with the validation rules in
the model.
One basic problem is detecting a simple blank field. This was so easy
in 1.1, but I can't (for the life of me) figure out how this is done
in 1.2. The 'minLength' rule only seems to invalidate the field when
there is a actual text in the field, and not when it is blank..
Here are the rules for my username field in my User model for example:
var $validate = array(
// username field
'username' => array(
// needs to be at least 4 chars long
'minrule' => array(
'rule' => array('minLength', 4),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Your Username must be at least 4
characters
long.'
),
// must be alphanumeric
'alphanumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'message' => 'Only alphabets and numbers allowed.'
),
// must be a unique name
'unique' => array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'message' => 'This username has already been taken.'
),
),
....
)
When I test this code, however, a blank field trips the 'alphanumeric'
rule instead of minLength - generating the wrong message.
If I enter only the letter "a" in the username field, the field is
invalidated.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
August
