Hi Admin,
How can I manage the server-side validation on a field like this?:
<field name="tax"
label="MY_COMPONENT_FIELD_TAX"
alias="tax"
filter="FLOAT"
required="true"
class="validate[custom[decimal5to2]]"
validate="decimal5to2"
formGroup="extra_options"
formControl="jform"
type="cktext"/>
firstly the formGroup and formControl seem to do not be passed to Jdom, I solved that.....but the problem is on the server side validation of the simple "required".
the field is recognized by joomla as jform[tax] and not as jform[extra_options][tax], so submitting the form will always give the error of missing field.
Any suggestion/workaround is welcome.
thanks.
I solved it writing the xml form in the correct way, joomla will manage it correctly. my mistake was to use the fields (successively stored as JSON object), without using the <fields></fields> tag. using the <fields/> tag joomla/jdom will manage it correctly, and the input name will be in this case: jform[extra_options][tax]
and everything will work fine also for the server-side validation.
<fields name="extra_options">
<fieldset name="itemview.extraoptions"
addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_mycomponent/models/fields"
label="MY_COMPONENT_JFORM_EXTRA_OPTIONS">
<field name="tax"
label="MY_COMPONENT_FIELD_TAX"
alias="tax"
filter="FLOAT"
required="true"
class="validate[custom[decimal5to2]]"
validate="decimal5to2"
type="cktext"/>
</fieldset>
</fields>
