Alternatively (and better because reusable in other Models), you could
insert the function _isUnique (documented below) in your own
app_model.php and use the following code in your Model.
Second argument in the 'rule' array is the field that has to be
checked for uniqueness..
var $validate = array(
'login' => array(
'rule' => array('_isUnique', 'login'),
'message' => 'Login name already taken.'
)
);
---------------Insert in app_model.php---------
function _isUnique($check, $field) {
if(isset($this->data[$this->name]['id']))
{
//make sure that there isn't one on another id that is
same as this
field
$results =
$this->find($this->name.'.id<>"'.addslashes($this-
>data[$this->name]['id']).'" AND '.$this->name.'.'.
$field.'="'.addslashes($check).'"');
} else {
//make sure it doesn't currently exist in the db (we're
creating a
new one)
$results = $this->find($this->name.'.'.
$field.'="'.addslashes($check).'"');
}
if(!empty($results))
{
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
