Re: Validate belongsTo model in select element - inList does not seem to work?

Something like this should work:

(code not tested, but theory sound)

class Customer extends AppModel {
var $validate = array(
'country_id' => array(
array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[a-z]{2}$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
),
array(
'rule' => array('checkCountry'),
'message' => Please stop playing with firebug.'
),
)
);

function checkCountry($data) {
$countryCode = reset($data);
return $this->Country->hasAny(array('Country.code' =>
$countryCode));
}
}
