Re: Need little help with a validation rule
Hi guys thx for the responses @Brian i already have the notEmptY rule on each field. But the rule will fail is the field is not set. @starkey overriding model::save doesn't sound cake-ish to me... imo a custom validation rule will be more coherent @jstein thx for the hint On 30 Apr, 01:54, brian bally.z...@gmail.com wrote: I assumed the 'required'=true was obvious, given the parameters mentioned.

Re: Need little help with a validation rule
In your model you can override the save() method to check if all fields are empty. If they are then ignore the record. If one or more are set then call parent::save()... using the validation rule Brian mentioned. On Apr 29, 9:43 am, Ernesto e.fanz...@gmail.com wrote: Hello.
