Validation: Using callbacks from a model

[eluser]KeyStroke[/eluser]
Hi,

I'd like to set the form validation so that callbacks are from a different Model dedicated for validation, instead of the controller the validation resides in.

The reason I want that is my application's code is very organized, and I have a bunch of controllers that are going to share the same rules.

Is this possible? if not, what do you suggest to solve this issue?

i think we had issues with this before, i personally use the callbacks in my controller
but there are also people out there, who write a addon to the validation library like
my_form_validation and put the validation code in there. ive never been into that but,
it kinda works too.

i saw it in the recaptchpa files in the wiki, you might check it out.

I couldn't find it.

I can't believe the people behind CodeIgniter didn't include such an important feature...

i think it was that

im not THE expert

Thanks, but I'm aware of that. But I have no idea how to expand that particular functionality. (I took a look at the form validation file already)

I would like this kind of possibility too. The goal is to be able to use a same callback function for form validation in different controllers. Has someone an idea ?

Why not store your validation rules in a configuration file? CodeIgniter supports this, and it's the logical place to store them for global access.

I don't see why not... You can access config files from within any object, including models, so I don't see a problem.

EDIT: Whoops. Sorry! I was confusing rules with callbacks. I'm so stoopid...
