in my opinion you have to...
thats because the logic of your validation rule does not always match
the result cake puts in the form fields in the view (adding class
"required")
you can check that out by adding a style to "required" like
"background-color: red"
its pretty messed up
some fields are not "required" which should be and vise versa
i did it this way:
add
if (!empty($options['required'])) {
$divOptions = $this->addClass($divOptions,
'required');
}
in the helper function "input()"
add "required => true" in the attributes of $form->input() in the
view, where you need it
now you can either use CSS or Jquery to add your asterisk (jquery
works even in old IE6 browsers etc)
this is neccessary due to the fact that "required => true/false" in
the model has a different meaning than you would expect - and in some
views this field may be required, in some not
so what other way would be there to have the flexibility I have?
