CActiveForm ClientValidation - ignore specific fields

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hey,

is it possible to ignore the validation of specific fields when using the ‘clientValidation’ => true

in CActiveForm? For example, i have got a model with 13 columns, from which in only want

the first 10 to be client-validated?

As an ugly workaround, i could just copy the generated client javascript and remove the

specific lines for the ignored columns - but is there a more elegant way?

thanks in advance

I guess just setting ‘enableClientValidation’ to false in the validation rules will do.




public function rules()

{

	return array(

		array('school_year, disp_order, name, enrolled', 'required'),

		array('school_year', 'date', 'format'=>'yyyy'),

		array('disp_order', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),

		array('name', 'length', 'max'=>20, 'enableClientValidation' => false), // look here

		...

	);

}
