Field validate required AND unique

crush123

I have an email address in my editor instance which I want to be required and unique.

Field::inst( 'tblpatron.EmailAddress' )
    ->validator( 'Validate::unique', array(
            "required"  => true,
            "message" => "This email address is already in use"
        ) )

How can I set the message so that if the field is left empty, i get the 'required' message and if it is a duplicate, I get a different 'unique' message ?

Thanks

Ok, I think I've sorted it.

I just called the validation function twice

Field::inst( 'tblpatron.EmailAddress' )
        ->validator( 'Validate::unique', array(
            "message" => "This email address is already in use"
        ) )
        ->validator( 'Validate::required', array(
            "message" => "An email address is required"
        ) ),
