Re: How to save a record but not clear an empty field?
delocalizer and Dr. Loboto,
It works a treat.
In the controller after fetching the data I unset the password field.
The password then comes up blank in the edit form.
I then entered the beforeValidate function, you gave me, in the model
and it works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Yes nice, I hadn't though of that. So you would test for:
if (isset($this->data['User]]['password']) && $this->data['User']
['password'] == Security::hash(Configure::read('Security.salt')))

If do not touch Auth hashing behavior password field can be checked not as "notBlank" but by comparison with hashed empty string. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: How to save a record but not clear an empty field?
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.

How to save a record but not clear an empty field?
I'm wondering how the cakephp bakery site ignores the blank password field when a user is updating their profile? That is, if the password is left blank it updates the other fields in the record but does not clear the password when the record is saved. How is this done?
