Hi there,
I have noticed that a date field is not correctly validated if entered manually (not via the calendar icon)
I have fixed that by adding the following code to the xxx_form.php file, just below the <?php $fieldset = ...
<script>
jQuery.validationEngineLanguage.allRules.date = {
"regex" : /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](0[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-]\d{4}$/,
"alertText" : '<span class="msg-prefix">• </span>Incorrect value'
};
</script>This requires the field to be in dd-mm-yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy
Also, the field has to be extended.
You can do that by forking the form.xml:
<field name="fieldname"
alias="fieldname"
label="LABEL"
filter="STRING"
type="ckcalendar"
format="d-m-Y"
required="true"
placeholder="dd-mm-yyyy"
class="validate[required,custom[date]]"/>
Extra is: placeholde and class part (required can be omitted for non required fields)
