Have you confirmed that the validation function is actually getting called,
via CakeLog::debug() or error_log(print_r($data, true));
If your validation function only returns false, and it never gets called,
mostly likely, validation is not getting called at all.
If the data is data['Community']['start']['year'], then you're probably
using the FormHelper date functions, which tend to split a date into it's
components, and return the results as an array. However, you may wish to
confirm with error_log(print_r($data, true)); or similar, the structure of
the field at validation time. You may want to check for $value = $this->
data[$this->alias][$field]['year']; when determining the value of the year.
