# Aug 8th 2008, 20:37 skua thank :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:36 skua i think it's the best
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:36 skua ok i will do a ontheflybehavior :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:35 skua i want to test a global var for each access of my model
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:35 skua i need just one line of code to change database on the fly
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:35 TommyO make a datasource
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:35 skua yes but there is something to autoload code for each access of model without to create behavior :p
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:34 TommyO $actsAs
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:34 TommyO beforeSave, beforeFind, beforeFilter, afterSave, ...
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:33 skua )
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:33 skua autoload a piece of code
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:33 TommyO autoload 'something' ?
# Aug 8th 2008, 20:33 skua what's the function to auload something in model object. i try setup() or initialize() but that didn't worked
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:56 Telik_Work is anyone here??
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:52 Telik_Work oops, sorry
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:52 Telik_Work clear
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:48 cl0s_ is there a way to change the img directory that cake uses like u can with layout?
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:46 CrazyTux[m] how do I ONLY render the view, nothing else?
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:42 Azhi_Dahaka_ yes, i know... but i don't want 2 input boxes to search into...
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:41 TommyO and this is probably more an exception to the rule than anything else...
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:40 TommyO you probably need to App::import('Core', 'Validation'); right before you try to use it
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 Azhi_Dahaka_ x
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 Azhi_Dahaka_ th
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 Azhi_Dahaka_ that's WAY cleaner than my current approach
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 TommyO Azhi_Dahaka_: ^^
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:37 TommyO if (!Validation::blank($field)) { ... is perfectly legit in a controller
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:36 Azhi_Dahaka_ the only validation is: not empty... because i'm using some like queries, so empty means all
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:35 Azhi_Dahaka_ and returns every matching book
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:35 Azhi_Dahaka_ the term is looked up on the name of the book, the abstract of the book and the name of the themes linked to each book
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 TommyO Validation class is static, no reason you couldn't call those methods directly
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 TommyO you can validate, or you can check the validity from the controller, which might fit here
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 Azhi_Dahaka_ ok, case in point: search feature
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 TommyO yeah, it's starting to get grey area isn't it :)
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 Azhi_Dahaka_ yes, and no... it also looks for a field on another models
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 TommyO you could validate against a Model rule even if it never gets saved
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 TommyO so it is tied to a model, just not to a specific field
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 Azhi_Dahaka_ meh, i will check on the controller if the data on the input field is empty and return an empty array
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 Azhi_Dahaka_ hmm... it's a search term for some fields in an existing model...
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:32 TommyO Azhi_Dahaka_: tie it to a Model then, even if the Model isn't tied to a database
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:27 Azhi_Dahaka_ hmm, how can i add validation to a form not tied to a model?
# Aug 8th 2008, 19:17 Azhi_Dahaka_ because, that's ALL
