For validation and custom validator

[chungchi300]

<?php

class PromotionCode extends Eloquent
{
    protected $table = 'promotion_code';
    public $timestamps = false;
    public  static $rules = array
    (

        'price' => 'required',
        'startAt' => 'required|lower_than:endAt',
        'endAt' => 'required',
        'maxReuse' => 'required',
        'maxReusePerPerson' => 'required|lower_than:maxReuse',
        'code' => 'required|unique:promotion_code',
        'name' => 'required'

    );

}

//in my custom validator.php

    $compareFieldName = $parameters[0];
    if(array_key_exists($compareFieldName,$validator->getData())){
        $compareValue = $validator->getData()[$compareFieldName];
        if($value  < $compareValue){
            return true;
        }else{
            return false;
        }
    }else{

        return false;
    }

The problem is the maxReuse is not existed in validator->getData() function because the admin program haven't pass the maxReuse when I only edit maxReusePerPerson. 1)How can I solve it?

        //set/update the data model
        $this->setDataModel($model);

        return true;
    }

My hacking on Config.php is passed all data except unique fields to validate function when edit. 1)Does anyone know how to do it without hacking?
