Representatives and automatically detecting keywords

rvillain · January 2014

Hi all,

I have a field in my database called email_key and when I create a simple module, it tries to validate it as an email. I know of representatives and turning them off, but what about turning off the validation part? How do I do that? I need fuel to treat email_key as a regular text field--ultimately, I would want it to make sure it has 32 characters only--but I can figure that out myself.

Thanks in advance guys.

Found out that the auto_validate_fields is causing the problem. Instead of removing email from the list, what's the best way to turn it off at the model level?

Solved.

For reference, there is a $auto_validate_fields property on a MY_Model which is set by default:

public $auto_validate_fields = array(
		'email|email_address' => 'valid_email',
		'phone|phone_number' => 'valid_phone'
		);

This basically says any field that has "email" or "email_address" in it will automatically try and validate it. Overwriting this value should make that problem go away:

public $auto_validate_fields = array(
		'phone|phone_number' => 'valid_phone'
		);

Howdy, Stranger!
