cakephp - CakePHP 中的 HABTM 表单验证

Question

我有一个项目表和一个用户表，它们通过 HABTM 关系链接。在“添加”新项目页面中，我有一个多个复选框部分，用于为新项目选择用户。我希望该项目至少有一名用户。在 CakePHP 中解决这个问题的最佳方法是什么？

Answer 1

尝试这个:

// app/models/project.php
/**
 * An additional validation check to ensure at least one User is
 * selected. Spoofs Cake into thinking that there are validation
 * errors on the Project model by invalidating a non-existent field
 * on the Project model, then also invalidates the habtm field as
 * well, so when the form is re-displayed, the error is displayed
 * on the User field.
 **/
function beforeValidate() {
  if (!isset($this->data['User']['User'])
  || empty($this->data['User']['User'])) {
    $this->invalidate('non_existent_field'); // fake validation error on Project
    $this->User->invalidate('User', 'Please select at least one user');
  }
  return true;
}
