# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:42 dogmatic69 arz: that is a lot of code to explain over mirc
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:42 Ceeram http://api.cakephp.org/class/model#method-Modelinvalidate
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:41 arz Ceeram, well then the question was what to do with this stuff http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/curl-model to make it handle validation
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:40 Ceeram brookshire: i could call User->invalidates() from any controller, but not without the User model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:40 arz brookshire, i think that it touches automagic error generation and other stuff that is automagic , thus it's prefered
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:40 dogmatic69 untill you need to debug something and now you have validation all over the place
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:40 Ceeram but this is not really validating what you want, you just want to check if curl returned anything
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 brookshire if it is specific to that one controller, i see no reason not to validate from the controller
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 dogmatic69 you can check the validation in the controller but THE validation code is in the model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 Ceeram arz: and even you dont as well
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 brookshire arz: if you want to reuse it, then use the model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 Ceeram but validation should be in model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 Ceeram brookshire: indeed doesnt matter where you call it
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:39 dogmatic69 brookshire: what does firebug say
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 Ceeram ok lets put it other wise, could you do the same in just the model, and could you do the same in just the controller without calling User model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 brookshire arz: i don't think it matters much if you force the validation in the controller or model, but other disagree obviously
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 arz ok ...
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 sphereweb dogmatic69: and back to my initial issue with the ajax form why returning same page as response?
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 arz so, i'm supposed to do validation by hand inside controller
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:38 Ceeram yes from controller indeed
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:37 dogmatic69 brookshire: that is logic, not validation
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:37 brookshire in that example
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:37 brookshire no, you are invalidating it from the controller
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:37 Ceeram no you are calling it from the controller, but it still done in the Model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 brookshire that is definitely validation
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 brookshire if (!empty($user['User']['username']))
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 brookshire Ceeram: the model, but you're still doing the validation in the controller
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 dogmatic69 Router::connect( '/contact', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'contact' ) );
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 Ceeram in UsersController or UserModel?
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 dogmatic69 sphereweb: i dont know if you can do that... and you are missing a param at the end
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:36 Ceeram brookshire: and where do you think invalidate is defined?>
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:35 dogmatic69 brookshire: yes, validating from the controller... why you think its last...
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:35 sphereweb dogmatic69: I have this in my routes.php: Router::connect('(Login|Terms|Privacy|Contact)', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display'));
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:35 brookshire $this->User->invalidate('username_unique');//populates tagErrorMsg('User/username_unique')
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 dogmatic69 check the book... you can make /some/long/cake/path == /contact
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 brookshire i think it's the last example
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 dogmatic69 meh
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 Ceeram brookshire: on what line?
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 dogmatic69 ~routing
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:34 brookshire not all validation belongs in the model
# Oct 22nd 2009, 16:33 sphereweb dogmatic69: i am switching frameworks, so i am rewriting my current live website in CakePHP
