RE: Validation based on another field

Yes, not to display it on the profile when I say "hide it". I will just go
with collecting it, then they can decide to hide it. Much easier that way
and makes more sense.

Thanks,

DAve

By "Hide my location" do you mean, "Don't display this publicly"? I do
the same thing, and also for email address, telephone, etc. but I
still collect the info (maybe not all fields in all cases). If the
field isn't mandatory, then just set required to false.

In any case, you can always check $this->data[$this->alias]['field']
as the data is already set on the model when validation occurs.
