What I would like to do is validate only the fields I choose. The problem is I don’t know how to go about it. Say I want to validate everything in this form but: ‘type_of_maintenance’ how would I go about doing that?
If you could post an example it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'pms-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
)); ?>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'asset_id'); ?>
<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'asset_id', CHtml::listData(assets::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'asset_no'),array('prompt' => 'Select a Asset'));
?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'asset_id'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'type_of_maintenance'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'type_of_maintenance',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'type_of_maintenance'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'scheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php //echo $form->textField($model,'scheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::activeCheckBox($model,'scheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'scheduled_maintenance'); ?>
</div>
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'unscheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::activeCheckBox($model,'unscheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php //echo $form->textField($model,'unscheduled_maintenance'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'unscheduled_maintenance'); ?>
</div>
