RE: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
That sounds familiar ;)
I wouldn't override validates, as on CakePHP 1.1 the parameter to
validates() has a different meaning to the one you are using, while in 1.2
validates() is supposed to take no parameters ($data parameter is
deprecated.)
I think it'd be better to have it as a separate function (something like
expects())
Also it wouldn't hurt to back the validation rules and restore after
validation. Once again, on AppModel:
function validateFields($fields)
{
if (!isset($this->__backValidateRules))
{
$this->__backValidateRules = array();
}
$ignore = array_diff(array_keys($this->validate), $fields);
foreach($ignore as $field)
{
$this->__backValidateRules[$field] =
$this->validate[$field];
unset($this->validate[$field]);
}
}
function validates($param)
{
$validates = parent::validates($param);
if (isset($this->__backValidateRules))
{
foreach($this->__backValidateRules as $field => $rule)
{
$this->validate[$field] = $rule;
}
$this->__backValidateRules = array();
}
return $validates;
}
So this way after validation is performed rules are restored to their
original state.
PS: Note that I'm not doing anything with validates() parameter, I'm just
passing it through.

This overrides built-in validates and allows you to pass an array of
field names that you want to check. Pretty much like the one above but
I didn't like how that one permanently changed the fields that were
set for model->validate. Bonus would be to make it so you could change
the rules by passing an assoc array of new rules.

RE: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
On the User model class add a function like:
function validateFields($fields)
{
$ignore = array_diff(array_keys($this->validate), $fields);
foreach($ignore as $field)
{
unset($this->validate[$field]);
}
}
You could also instead move this function to AppModel so you can have it
available for other models.
Then on your controller:
$this->User->validateFields(array('user', 'password'));
if ($this->User->set($this->data) && $this->User->validates())
{
// Check login
}

RE: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
Assuming that User is your model, you would use $this->User->validates().
Mariano gave a good example in his response:
if ($this->User->set($this->data) && $this->User->validates()) {
// Perform your thing to check user / password
}
You could also do the reverse:
if (!$this->User->validates()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Please enter a valid username and
password')
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'login'), null, true);
}

RE: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
In that case, instead of unsetting each field you don't want validated, just
set validation to a new, abridged array of rules. Something like:
$this->User->validate = array(
'username' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'password' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY
);

RE: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
Set up all your validation rules in the model (such as username not empty
and only letters, email valid, etc. etc.).
On the save() action you validate with the model as usual.
On the login action, instead of calling save() on the model you would call
validates(), and since you want only to validate a few things (such as user
not empty, password not empty) you would unset those validation rules you
don't need at that time:
unset($this->User->validate['email']);
unset($this->User->validate['someotherfield']);
// Check if it validates
if ($this->User->set($this->data) && $this->User->validates())
{
// Perform your thing to check user / password
}
