Validation function refusing to callback. - El Forum - 09-16-2009
[eluser]JasonS[/eluser]
Can someone have a quick look at this and tell me where I am going wrong.
The Validation Rules
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|alpha_dash|max_length[40]|callback_unique_username');The Callback - Modified to fail all the time.
Code:
public function unique_username($str)
{
//if ($this->register_model->unique_username($str))
//{
$this->form_validation->set_message('unique_username', 'The username selected is already in use.');
return FALSE;
//}
//return true;
}When I run the form. The callback isn't called.

I have investigated further. Going into CI.
The callback is failing because of these lines in the form_validation library.
Code:
if ( ! method_exists($this->CI, $rule))
{
continue;
}Basically, it cannot find the function. Is this a bug?

Gah, something to do with the use of modules.. will look into it further

Your callback function needs to be in the same controller as where you are calling it, and CI does not require it be a public function (though I don't know that it minds...or knows, either way). If you are trying to define the callback function in a library, module, or another controller it won't work. You might be able to define it in a helper though.
If that doesn't work then someone else is wrong.

I have tried to define the callback in a helper. No joy.
Does this happen with matchbox as well as modular extensions?
I was planning for my application to be primarily based on modules. Is there a work around for this?

Found the solution.
