Question

In update user form, I want to split password from rest of the form.

In user model I validate it.

I want to have

form 1

  User infos fields

form 2

password and confirm fields.

in php I would do something like if post password is empty, ignore it.

is there something like

if :password 
    do validation
end

I need the model part, I have the rest.

just need an idea how to split validation in model or how to achieve this.

I hope i did understand you

class User << AR
  validates :password, 
     :lenght => {:between => 3..20}, 
     :confirmation => true,
     :if => Proc.new { self.password }
end
