Now here is a new question. Let's say (hypothetically) that I was so anal retentive that I absolutely had to do the date conversion in the model instead of the controller, I assume there must be an easy way?
I can get close with the following code, but sill no cigar.
[rule]
'date' => array(
'convertDate' => array(
'rule' => 'date',
'message' => 'Date is required',
'allowEmpty' => false
)
)
[/rule]
[function]
function convertDate($field)
{
$date = $field['date']['year'].'-'.$field['date']['month'].'-'.$field['date']['day'];
return $date;
}
[/function]
I can get the converted date into the rule but it usually just displays it as the 'message'. How do I validate the returned value of convertDate() instead of field 'date' ?

I'm relatively sure the first thing I did was to convert it over to a string but still ended up with the same error, I'll try it again though to be sure. Perhaps I'm just expecting too much from Cake? After all, Cake "automagically" structured the date as an array and it will accept and write it to the db as an array, I just assumed that it would convert it back or do some other "automagic" in the case of validation.

As far as I can read from the api, then the validation expects a date
as a string, and you seems to pass it an array!
Please correct me if I am wrong :)
Enjoy,
