Passwd field validation

[renaud2263]

Hi,

In my custom module I have to controllers, admin and front, and a class with objectModel (it's  similar of customer subscription).

Then in the templates I have a field called "passwd".

In the class definition field:

'passwd' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPasswd', 'required' => true, 'size' =>60)

All is perfect in the front side and an error is displaying when user don't fill the field.

But in the admin side, when I edit and valid a modification, the error also displays: "Property MyClass->passwd is empty"

In the controller renderForm, i have:

					array(
						'type' => 'password',
						'label' => $this->trans('Password', array(), 'Admin.Global'),
						'name' => 'passwd',
						'required' => ($obj->id ? false : true),
						'col' => '4',
						'hint' => ($obj->id ? $this->trans('Leave this field blank if there\'s no change.', array(), 'Admin.Orderscustomers.Help') :
							$this->trans('Password should be at least %length% characters long.', array('%length%' => Validate::PASSWORD_LENGTH), 'Admin.Orderscustomers.Help'))
					),

That means if I am in modification mode, the object->id is here and no need to fill passwd field, isnt't it ? The proof is the hint which shows "leve this field blank..."

So what can I do with this field ?

Thanks for help.

PS: I also tried to change the def field and set required=>false, but in this case, when I edit the member the passwd is not loaded in the field and and the database field is empty after saving changes...

In fact I just want to have the same behavior of AdminCustomerController: when we edit a customer, we can let the passord field empty and it's not modified in the database. I don't find how it is made.

Help ?
