I believe there is a method in record object called validated that you can
use
<cfif this.user.validated() and this.user.HasErrors()>

Thanks Qasim, I think I got the hang of it. I guess what I was doing
before, which was overriding the validate method of the record object worked
pretty well, but putting it in the validator seems more logical since that's
the purpose. It's also nicer when outputing errors because all the email
errors are grouped, whereas the other way my custom email error appeared
last, which makes sense.
One other question, I noticed that a record's hasError message fails if
you call it without having done validation first. That's because it tries to
run _getErrorCollection().count(), but since _getErrorCollection() doesn't
return a collection until you've validated (it defaults to 0 as far as I can
tell), you get an error. It seems to me it would be nice if the hasError()
returned false if validation hasn't been performed, assuming you'd have an
empty ErrorCollection as opposed to 0. But in the meantime, I'm left with
doing as follows:
<cfif IsObject(this.user._getErrorCollection()) AND this.user.hasErrors()>
// output validation errors here
</cfif>
This doesn't seem like the cleanest way to go about it, but that's what I
came up with. Anything better to handle this?
Thanks again.

Tom,
What we usually do is to write our custom validation routines in
OurRecordValidator.cfc and if any errors are caught e.g. passwords do not
match, we do something like this
function name="validateConfirmPassword"
if record.getNewPassword() neq record.getConfirmPassword
set arguments.errorCollection.addError( '
UserRecord.PASSWORD.DONOTMATCH' )
end if
The error UserRecord.Password.PasswordDoNotMatch can be defined in
userRecord.xml under dictionary folder.
Thanks
