As of today, you may in fact use

$user->setScenario();

It has just been implanted but about 9 hours ago.

The old way has even been “depreciated”

I introduced that idea to the developer but at the time he did not like the idea.. I do not totally remember why

Why not have something like this where you can set the current scenario of a model to help with validation AND safeAttributes

$user->setScenario(”);
$user->save();

Actually, Yii will automatically assume that the compareAttribute is the same name as the source attribute but with a ‘_repeat’ suffix, if it is not defined explicitly.

imvho you did a mistake:

is:
array(‘password’, ‘compare’, ‘on’ => ‘register, update’),

should be:
array(‘password’, ‘compare’, ‘compareAttribute’=>’password_repeat’, ‘on’=>’register, update’),

cheers,
michael
