CActiveFrom: use different validateOnXX for different fields

Archives Feature Requests

Hi there,

I’m trying to get just one of my form fields to validateOnChange, but have the rest of the fields validate on submit. I don’t think this is currently possible, so I’d like to request it as a feature.

In my case, I’d like to have the username field validate for its uniqueness, but all other fields can wait to validate on submit.

Thanks!

This is supported. You just need to configure

‘validateOnChange’=>false in ‘clientOptions’

and

‘validateOnChange’=>true in $htmlOptions when calling error() for the specific attribute.

Thanks! Seems like you’ve thought of everything with the validation system!
