var $validate = array( 'name' => array( 'rule' => array('custom', VALID_NOT_EMPTY), 'message' => 'Can\'t be empty' ) );
This is how i deal with not empty values. VALID_NOT_EMPTY may be deprecated, but still it's just a constat so i can replace it with whatever regexp i want. AFAIK 'allowEmpty' is false by default and it's checked before rule description, and if u dont specify rule key in field validation array it will default to 'blank'. In your example Zoe field name will always invalidate because it can't be empty, thanks to 'allowEmpty', but rule defaulted to 'blank' expecting it to be empty. On 9.
