CI 2.1.0 form validation external callbacks via the newly available param

[eluser]LeMec[/eluser]
Hello,

Thanks, for this skunkbad. I looked at your community auth and tried to take the My_form_validation and use it in my project.

I am using HMVC so it did not work.

I also have my models organized in sub directories so the code could not find the specified model.

I have made a few changes that seemed to fix the problem for me...

Code:

public function external_callbacks( $postdata, $param )
{
  $param_values = explode( ',', $param );

  // Make sure the model is loaded
  $model = $param_values[0];

  //Alain: See if there is a path...
  $model_path= explode( '/',$model );
  $model_segments= count($model_path );
  if ($model_segments > 1)
  {
   $modelObj=$model_path[$model_segments -1];
  }
  else
  {
   $modelObj=$model;
  }

  $this->CI->load->model( $model );

  // Rename the second element in the array for easy usage
  $method = $param_values[1];

  // Check to see if there are any additional values to send as an array
  if( count( $param_values ) > 2 )
  {
   // Remove the first two elements in the param_values array
   array_shift( $param_values );
   array_shift( $param_values );

   $argument = $param_values;
  }

  // Do the actual validation in the external callback
  if( isset( $argument ) )
  {
   //Alain: now using $modelObj
   $callback_result = $this->CI->$modelObj->$method( $postdata, $argument );
  }
  else
  {
   //Alain: now using $modelObj
   $callback_result = $this->CI->$modelObj->$method( $postdata );
  }

  return $callback_result;
}

Edit: I also need to enter the full path of where my model is in my validation rules...

So, if I did not enter a path, then this would not find the model, but If I entered a path, then it would find the model load it but when trying to use it it would reference the object with the path.
