Re: Different Validation Rule for Different Purpose？
You don't need to call model->validates for the login or set any variables to dummy values.

Re: Different Validation Rule for Different Purpose？
Thanks for your answer. I understand the model validation is towards the model while not the form now. I still have some confusion. If at the login form, I only need to verify username is not null and do not contain special chars (alphaNumeric). What is the right way to do that in CakePHP? Currently, to use the existing validation infrastructure, before validation, I put firstname/lastname to dummy value before call $this- >model->validates(). Is that workaround make sense?

Re: Different Validation Rule for Different Purpose？
I hope this answers your question: The validation is for the model (the database table) and not the form. The error messages appear on the form which may make you think the validation rules are validating the data in the form... but it isn't. The validation rules check the data before an insert or update to the table. Therefore, you only need the one rule to check the first/last/user names and the password. When someone logs in you do a model->find() which doesn't go through the validation rules.

Different Validation Rule for Different Purpose？
Hi, I am not sure whether CakePHP suport different validation rules for the same model. My problem is to validate user. In the registration form, I have to validate username/password/ firstname/lastname to be the correct value. But to the login form, I only need user to input username/password. If I specified the validation rules for the registration form in the user model. Then in the login form, I will always got error result because it is still checking rules for firstname/lastname. Does CakePHP provide some standard way to solve that? So I can say I want check 4 fields when do registration and only check 2 fields when do login. Thanks for your help.
