Hi,

I've read the other posts - but I couldn't fix it (but I am new to this). In my case its with a basic decimal data type.

Changing MTools to Jquery did not fix.

I was intending to use the decimal record for a currency field (cost ie: 55.00).

Validation is not set (Validator: None). I did play around with some of the built in validation, but reset it to none when having these problems.

Using Cook 2.0

Form Style :Condensed
Features: Reduced
TODO: Yes

DB automatisms: Model
Timeout loading: 20 Seconds.

Thanks

Hi @bottomupwebs,

Did you rebuild your project/files after switching JS from MooTools to jQuery?

Have you looked for further info in the console (dev tools/firebug)? Could you post the full error please?

I also needed a decimal validation for measurements and price as you do: correct to 2 decimal places. I also wanted to prevent free products (0.00). I therefore had to go down the custom validation route...

To find out more, please see:http://j-cook.pro/forum/34-regular-expressions/5314-validate-decimal-must-be-positive?limit=10&start=10#5438

Hope it helps!

Hi Gez, thanks for the reply.

After changing the settings, I'm clicking on "Download component" and installing it on my server - I figured that was rebuilding right?

When using the form on the front end, a lightbox type windows pops up with "jqv:custom rule not found - decimal_10_2". Message via Joomla messages is " Validation Rule missing: decimal_10_2"

Using the console in Firebug, I don't see any errors or warnings.

I'm working on it again today, will test a few more things out.

Thanks for the link - might need that later.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chaps,

Even after removing the decimal fields from the table (and page) - I still got the error.

So I think I might have landed on a bug with the JCook builder.

Decimal fields in any other table worked fine.

What might have triggered this bug was that I was using a numeric character in the decimal field name. Ie: invoice_line_1 and invoice_line_2. I had to save and then rename to achieve this. I was probably using validation at the time of saving (nothing complicated - just the defaults).

Maybe that left some residual code in the generated files.

To fix, I deleted the entire table and rebuild it using apha characters for the decimal numeric field names - ie: invoice_line_a, invoice_line_b

Cheers

Hi @bottomupwebs,

Yes, but you may want to click the Rebuild Files link in your project's main window first just to be sure...

I think that this is a bug in V2.0 Cook. I may be wrong here but, I think that something else must have changed other than your field names if it is working now as I don't see how removing a digit in place of a letter would change anything.

I would recommend looking at the link in any case but, I'm glad you got it fixed!

The problem is not the numbers, but the underscores '_'.

Do not use the underscores in the validator handler.
This is an issue to fix in 1.5. I know.

You can make it working. TODO :
- Turn back to a custom mode.
- Remove the underscores in the handler automatic generated alias.

Sorry for inconvenience

Fixed in builder. Not anymore '_' in the default aliases.

this is fixed here, but not in file upload I added a image field and when try to APPLY show a file_9999 custom rule not found.. I did remove the _ from the xml but still got the error but without the underscore.

Any Idea?

Hi @soportedo

did you remove it from both the validate & class attributes in the XML? If not, double check that a file, named admin/models/rules//[the_rule_name(without an underscore, '_')].php and that the rule class name in the relevant file is named accordingly.

BTW, are you usng jQuery & Cook V2.0b?

Hi @audibleid

In the admin/models/rules theres only "file.php" not file_nnnn.php"
BTW I did copy the file.php to file_nnnn.php and the same error

tried:

file_nnnn.php
filennnn.php
and file.php


same error....

Thnaks

PS: Usign jQuery and Version 2.0b

Sorry, I may have got it wrong about the file naming convention of rules files... What about the class names in the file?

no class name with file_nnnn can you point me where to llok?

thanks

Underscore is not allowed in rules, but Cook is using them to furnish some dynamic parameters to the JS.
Underscore + rand number = validator suffix.


Explaination
Field 1 :
type = file
allowed types = *png|*.jpg


Field 2 :
type = file
allowed types = *tif|*.gif

The Javascript is naming a rule with an unique alias in order to distinct them.

The suffix is keept for the front JS validator
The suffix is ignored for the PHP rule file.

Hi admin, I understand your answers, and the validation is working with number, strings, passwords, etc.
but with the Upload component is not working.... eve if I remove the underscore.

What I'm doing wrong?
