Alright, well I solved my own problem. It might not be the most efficient method, but given that I didn't find anything within CakePHP to handle this, I think it's pretty good. In case anyone else is looking for how to do it, here's what I did. Within app_model.php, simply create the following function:
/** * Name: validates() * Desc: Allow only specified fields to be validated for a model. */ function validates($fieldList = null) { // If no fields are specified, then simply use the standard validation method. if ($fieldList === null) { return parent::validates(); } else { // If a single value is passed as a string, convert it to an array. if (!is_array($fieldList)) { $fieldList = array($fieldList); } // If the validation array is not set for the model, then there is nothing to check. if (!isset($this->validate) || empty($this->validate)) { return true; } else { // Create a placeholder for the original validation array, then filter out // any fields that do not require validation. Perform the validation, then // restore the original validation array for the model. $validate = $this->validate; $this->validate = array_intersect_key($this->validate, array_flip($fieldList)); $result = parent::validates(); $this->validate = $validate; return $result; } } } Now, when you want to validate specific fields, just pass an array of field names to the validates() function. $this->Member->set($this->data); $result = $this->Member->validates(array('password', 'password2')); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
