Re: Validation (Check If username Exists Display Error Message)

Thanks Solved. But I have a question, with that said, 1.3 version and
the newer--it all seem much easier than the older version, seems like
less codes required...

Or is it I'm missing something ?

All I have to do is just add in the additional array into my existing
username validation array instead of creating a new function called
beforeValidate(). Am I right ?

Just to ensure because I'm quite new to this and I'm programming
challenged. This will help to clarify my upcoming tasks.
