Callbacks for Form_validation class?
Development and Programming
Does anyone know of a way to get custom callbacks working with the CI Form_validation class?
The class normally requires a full CI controller which is inspected for callback methods… which doesn’t work in EE ACT actions for instance, or really anywhere at all.
Any ideas?
Well, dang it was actually pretty easy. In case anyone else ends up looking for a way to do this, it basically amounts to creating your own library class that extends CI_Form_validation, then overriding run() and/or _execute() to swap out the CI object, which is where the class looks for callbacks. Then just use your own class instead of the built-in one.
An easier way to do this that doesn’t require a custom library would be awesome, but this will do very nicely for now.
