Hi,

I did a component with a few combos and text fields,
now i should make them compulsory, so i go to com_name/models/forms/name.xml
and i add to the
<field name="observations"
...
required="true"
type="cktextarea"/>

and it works fine, if the field is empty i receive the warning

When i try to make the same for a type="ckcombo" (select list), it doesn't work, even empty is validating the form.
I tried to add several combinations of:
required="true"
validate="numeric"
class="required validate-numeric"

but it never works

can u help me please ?

Albert

Hi Albert.

Read this topic:
www.j-cook.pro/index.php/forum/19-new-ti...elect-not-validating

Will probably help you solve it.

Hi,

Thanks but i already tried
i added:
<script>
(function($){
$("#adminForm").validationEngine('attach',{prettySelect:true,useSuffix:"_chzn"});
})(jQuery)
</script>

i also tried to comment out
//JHtml::_('formbehavior.chosen', 'select');
from helper.php :: headerDeclarations()

and nothing, when i save the form, the combo with required="true" is validated even without selecting any item

Yes, that is actuaclly wrong

It should be:

Mind the: $(document).ready(function () {

Hi, it continue without working, i placed on:
com_xxx/fork/views/xxx/tmpl/xxx.php


defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');


ComprasHelper::headerDeclarations();
//Load the formvalidator scripts requirements.
JDom::_('html.toolbar');
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//Secure the user navigation on the page, in order preserve datas.
var holdForm = true;
/*window.onbeforeunload = function closeIt(){ if (holdForm) return false;};*/

(function($){
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#adminForm").validationEngine('attach',{prettySelect:true,useSuffix:"_chzn"});
});
})(jQuery)

</script>
<?php
..
.
.

but it continues without validating
if i inspect the code, i do not see the required, i see:
<select id="jform_ip_id" name="jform[ip_id]" class="chzn-done" style="display: none;">
<option value="" selected="selected">- Select IP -</option>
<option value="952">A</option>
<option value="1371">B</option>
...
</select>

A little further down there will probably be (when inspecting your html) someting like:
That is where the _chzn suffix is.

I have my piece op code in the _form.php, just after
<?php $fieldSet = $this->form->getFieldset('xxxx.form');?>

Does a jquery error show up in the console perhaps?

Hope it helps

Hi, now by adding the code i get:


<select id="jform_ip_id" name="jform[ip_id]" required="required">
<option value="" selected="selected">- Select ICMAB IP -</option>
....
</select>

when i click on the selct box the border is red (good signal), but when i click on submit, the form is accepting the empty value !!
it is very strange because another fields (for instance a text one) is validating properly

no messages on the console

we are getting close ...

any idea ??
i am still stuck with no validation

If it is no problem for you, please attach an installable zip file of your component or send me an email on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
I can then install it and see what is the problem.

Also I need the forked files offcourse

Hi,

Now i made it work, i started from scratch again!
maybe when i did the fork i did something wrong !

Apology for so many emails.

Albert

Great, no worries. We are here to help to the best we can

Hi Albert,
The fix of Romkabouter is now integrated in the new version.
You can remove your fork. Sorry, I was too late on this one it could have avoid you some work.

Cheers.
