Hi
I assume that you are including sername and password as hidden fields
because they are required in your validation array - but rather than
include them as hidden fields it might be better to create different
validate arrays in your model e.g.
var $validate = array(
'somefield' => array('notempty'),
'someotherfield' => array('notempty'),
'password' => array('notempty')
);
var $validate_edit = array(
'somefield' => array('notempty'),
'someotherfield' => array('notempty')
);
Then in your controller you can just choose which validation array you
want to apply, therefore you won't have to include any hidden fields
unnecessarily. e.g.
$this->{$this->modelClass}->validate = $this->{$this->modelClass}-
>validate_edit;
You could alternatively use the 'on' option in your validation array
(see http://book.cakephp.org/view/127/One-Rule-Per-Field)
var $validate = array(
'fieldName1' => array(
'rule' => 'ruleName', // or: array('ruleName', 'param1',
'param2' ...)
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'create', // or: 'update'
'message' => 'Your Error Message'
)
)
I prefer to create multiple validation arrays as it is really easy to
read and keeps things nice and clear.
