| # | 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 | TommyO | so it is tied to a model, just not to a specific field |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 | TommyO | you could validate against a Model rule even if it never gets saved |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:33 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | yes, and no... it also looks for a field on another models |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 | TommyO | yeah, it's starting to get grey area isn't it :) |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:34 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | ok, case in point: search feature |
| # | 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 | TommyO | Validation class is static, no reason you couldn't call those methods directly |
| # | 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, 19:35 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | and returns every matching book |
| # | 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, 19:37 | TommyO | if (!Validation::blank($field)) { ... is perfectly legit in a controller |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 | TommyO | Azhi_Dahaka_: ^^ |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | that's WAY cleaner than my current approach |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | th |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:39 | Azhi_Dahaka_ | x |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:40 | TommyO | you probably need to App::import('Core', 'Validation'); right before you try to use it |
| # | Aug 8th 2008, 19:41 | TommyO | and this is probably more an exception to the rule than anything 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, 19:46 | CrazyTux[m] | how do I ONLY render the view, nothing else? |
