MY Form validation Callbacks into Models

Setting Up: [code] $this->form_validation->set_rules('username','User Name', 'trim|required|callback_users_model->is_unique[username]');
[/code]
The callback function in users_model [code] /** * Validation callback **/ function is_unique($value, $field) { $this->form_validation->set_message('users_model->is_unique', "The %s {$value} is not available. Try a different username"); return (bool)(!$this->findBy("{$field} = '{$value}'")); }
[/code]
This is a more advanced version of the previous callbacks into models extension. You may pass the calling object to the Validation class. ie: $this->form_validation->run($this); If not it wil use the CI super object by default.
Note: At line 95, a 'NULL' value is inserted as the fourth argument. That translates to the Form_validation's _execute method as the default argument cycles=0. Not sure what affect that will have yet, but in order to keep Wiredesignz' $parent variable intact, _execute had to be extended to a fifth argument. $parent is intended to support Modular Extensions, but that compatibility has not yet been verified. Modular users, please step in here and verify. --Thanks, Brad
