[FIXED] formValidator for Radio Button

No Warning for Required Radio 08 Jul 2016 13:25 #14192

Hi Chef,

Using a Enum Radio type field with the required property checked...

If the user does not fill in this required field, the form will not submit - and there is no warning to say what the trouble is. The user usually thinks the form is broken.

Browser: Firefox 47.0
Environment: JCook Sandbox
Buider: Edge
Embed JS: No
Formstyle: Condensed
JDOM:Plugin
Just call me Chris :)

I see,
Unfortunalely, the form validator cannot handle it.

see the docs here :
github.com/posabsolute/jQuery-Validation-Engine

Otherwise, to fix it, I could implement another form Validator with more features :
bmauser.github.io/bvalidator/

But it works differently.

Moved in New Functionalities.

Any progress on this?

We can't really use radio buttons in JCook without it.

formValidator is already a Cook extra feature that Joomla do not propose, and so I consider it is less important.
There are other priorities at the moment.
Also because I will maybe rewrite it all in future. I am also waiting some volunter to implement a proper good form validator in Joomla.
Can't tell you more at the moment.

I am sure you can find how to hack it, but I tried and it is difficult. So that's why I decided to relay this lower.
You still can use radio buttons with required, but the validation will be done in PHP.

If you check the fieldtypes at www.position-relative.net/creation/formV.../demoFieldTypes.html
The radio is properly validated :)

Ok, this is correct.
I don't remember now why.
But what about a bootstrap radio field ?

Moved in tickets.

EDIT : But this do not makes the validator more beautifull.
We still have the same problem.

The day I put my hand in, I hope to come out with something nice. I am quite experienced in javascript.
This only thins is that I don't wan't to code a specific Cook plugin. (for many reasons...) so I prefer to implement a well known solution such as this one.

The best would only to redesign it with CSS and jQuery.
At the moment I am doing others things, but I promise you something.

The problem is that the radios are hidden, only the flat buttons are there.
The validator tries to get the position of the hidden input and fails with an error: jquery.validationEngine.js:1507 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'left' of undefined on line 1507

When you remove the display:none
.radio.btn-group input[type=radio] {
/* display: none; */
}
the red alert will show up.

So, that validation works. It is only the alert which fails with a javascript :)

edit; remove display:none and replace with opacity:0;

Wonderfull. K++

You see, I don't have much time for that now, but when someone provides the fix, It can be achieved much faster.
In this case, a little hack in the program.. why not ?
Afterall, Joomla proposes a hacked version of bootstrap, I am gonna do the same for this formValidator.

That seems to work for me

Fixed.

The fix appears in the css files of your component.
I used 'visibility': 'hidden', instead of opacity.

I think opacity is more for graphical rendering, also I found that with visibility it is more relevant.

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
