Hi Gerard;
There would be many ways to do this - one way would be to put some
logic in the User model beforeValidate method that checks if password
field is set in the data but blank, then password field is unset - so
it won't be validated or saved.
eg.
function beforeValidate(){
if (isset($this->data['User']['pwd'] && strlen($this->data['User']
['pwd'])==0)){
unset($this->data['User']['pwd]);
}
return true;
}
If you do this you'll have to hash your own password rather than let
Auth do it automatically, because Auth will hash a blank password and
the 'if' condition will never be true.
