Validate the ‘object_id’ value of an activity_dict.

Uses the object_id_validators dict (above) to find and call an ‘object_id’ validator function for the given activity_dict’s ‘activity_type’ value.

Raises Invalid if the model given in context contains no object of the correct type (according to the ‘activity_type’ value of the activity_dict) with the given ID.

Raises Invalid if there is no object_id_validator for the activity_dict’s ‘activity_type’ value.

ckan.logic.validators.name_validator(value, context)

Return the given value if it’s a valid name, otherwise raise Invalid.

If it’s a valid name, the given value will be returned unmodified.

This function applies general validation rules for names of packages, groups, users, etc.

Most schemas also have their own custom name validator function to apply custom validation rules after this function, for example a package_name_validator() to check that no package with the given name already exists.

Raises ckan.lib.navl.dictization_functions.Invalid:  if value is not a valid name
