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)

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
