Hi you can set the secnario
array('name','required','on'=>'create'),
array('name', 'allowEmpty' => TRUE,'on'=>'update'),
Hi
If you want the name field to be required except update scenario you chould use this
array('name','required'),
array('name', 'allowEmpty' => true,'except'=>'update'),
But it will give the error
UserContactDetails has an invalid validation rule. The rule must specify attributes to be validated and the validator name.
nw what am I do now .pls help me
Please post your ‘rules’ method
Hi,
public function rules()
{
return array(
array('name', 'required'),
);
}
I hope this will solve your problems. This will validate name attribute during create and update.
Thanks

public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array('users_id', 'required'),
array('primary_degree_country_id,is_locum, located_in_country_id, is_permanent, pref_location_id, users_id', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),
array('work_start_date', 'safe'),
array('doctor_type_id, work_start_date, primary_degree_country_id, located_in_country_id, is_locum, is_permanent, pref_location_id','required','message'=>'Cannot be Empty '),
// The following rule is used by search().
// @todo Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
array('id, doctor_type_id, work_start_date, primary_degree_country_id, located_in_country_id, is_locum, is_permanent, pref_location_id, users_id', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
);

thanx for your reply.bt it is not the answer.when I put that one display nothing only white screen.what am I do now? 
try reverting all changes made from above suggestions and just add those rules:
array( ‘name’, ‘required’, ‘on’=>‘update’ ),
array( ‘name’, ‘safe’, ‘except’=>‘update’ ),
every rule must have validator name/class (second param) and provided rules lack this part…
also - you should just call save() instead of validate() and update(). save() will do the validation and choose proper storing method (insert/update) automatically.
I cant understand what the reason.still display anything.
thanx guys
is there anything in application.log?
Hi,
I think u have some errors in yours saving.
try this print_r($ucdmodel->errors)
when u have error…it will not redirect to your requested page
Thanks
chandran nepolean
only display blank page.I don knw what the reason.
hey dont you ave any idea???.still I cannot find the sollution for that
try to comment out everything in action body, add “echo ‘done’;” at the end and check if it works. if so - uncomment your code piece by piece and check when problem arises. basic debugging with php…
