Is there a way to extend the ModelValidator?
I know you can do things like this in the controllers:
public $helpers = array(
// Core Helpers
'Session', 'Time',
'Html' => array('className' => 'Utilities.HtmlExt'),
'Paginator' => array('className' => 'Utilities.PaginatorExt'),
'Form' => array('className' => 'Utilities.FormExt' ),
);
Is there a way to do this with ModelValidator?
My goal is to catch the validation error messages, and the posted data
which I can with the callback, afterValidate().
However, it doesn't give me the actual validation name (e.g. 'notEmpty',
'alphaNumeric'), or the particular settings for this validation rule.
If I can't extend/overload the class instance, can is there another way to
grab the above information without having to look for the message in the
settings?
I can't rely on the message , because it can change based on how the
message failed. Example:
class EquipmentDetail extends AppModel
{
public $validate = array(
'mac_address' => array(
'alphaNumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'This field is required, and only allows
numbers and letters. (you may have a space at the end of the string).',
),
'Rule_MacAddress' => array(
'rule' => 'Rule_MacAddress',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
//'on'=> 'create',
// 'message' => 'This must be a unique value, there may
already be a record with this MAC address.',
),
),
);
// ....
public function Rule_MacAddress($check)
{
if(!isset($check['mac_address']))
{
return __('The MAC Address isn\'t set.');
}
$mac_address = $check['mac_address'];
$mac_address = strtoupper(trim($mac_address));
if($mac_address == 'TBD') return true;
// check to make sure it's a mac address using the Extractor
Behavior
$type = $this->EX_discoverType($check['mac_address']);
if($type != 'mac')
{
return __('The given MAC Address isn\'t detected as a valid MAC
Address. (0-9, A-F, no : or -)');
}
// check to make sure it's unique
if(!$exists = $this->findByMacAddress($mac_address))
{
return true;
}
return __('This must be a unique value, there may already be a
record with this MAC Address.');
}
}
