in creation of page i need to validate the img file , but in update i dont have to .
how i can set custom validation for every page in the model ?

Answer 1

This can be done by using scenarios.
These determine when a particular validation rule should be used.

Something like :

<?php
class SomeModel extends CModel
{
    public $image;

    // ...

    /**
     * Returns the validation rules for attributes. 
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return array(
            array(
                'image',            // Attribute list
                'image_validator',  // Validation rule
                'on' => 'update',   // Scenarios when the validation rule should be used
                'message' => 'The image is invalid!',  // Error message
            )
        );
    }

}

You can take a look at the official documentation for more information on validation/scenarios.
