Re: Required form field NOT marked with "required" CSS class

"need the opposite: IF the field is present, it must NOT be empty
(and it must be unique). "

IF it doesn't have to be present, its NOT a required field ;-)

To make CakePHP add the required classes you must include the addition
rule "required"=>true

e.g.

var $validate = array(
'name' => array('notempty'),
'number' => array(
'notempty'=>array('rule'=>'notempty', 'message'=>'Number must be
specified',
'required=>true),
'isUnique'=>array('rule'=>'isUnique', 'message'=>'Number is
already used')
));

This means the field MUST be in the posted data, can't be empty and
must be unique.
