Hi,

I've developed a user plugin which carries out some validation on registration and on update.

The validation is working fine, but I am seeing 2 issues which I wondered if anybody else had experienced..

1. When a field is set to required, if it fails to validate correctly then I get my javascript error displayed but the field isn't turned red. I think this is because after the user validation test, there is a builtin check for required fields which sets the background back to normal if the field is present therefore overriding my change.

2. For non-required fields, if I turn the field red because it fails validation, after I input the correct value, the background isn't reset.

See below for an example of my code..

[code:1]$this->_addValidationJS( "\tif (me.value > 100) {\n"
."\t errorMSG += \"".html_entity_decode($error_percar)."\\n\"\n"
."\t me.style.background = \"red\";\n"
."\t iserror=1;\n"
."\t}\n"«»);[/code:1]

Any suggestions gratefully received..

Cheers

John

Ah..

I guess you are talking about..

[code:1]else if (me.style.background.slice(0,3)=="red"«»)

me.style.background = cbDefaultFieldBackground;

[/code:1]

I took my code straight from the CB docs, maybe want to update that so that others don't fall into the same trap!

Thanks for the help

Cheers

Hi, Can we get a copy of this Plugin?

Hi,

the plugin would be of no use to you as it carries out a very specific function i.e. it validates some extra fields on the registration form. It validates some fields on a new tab which is shown on profile update, it then takes that validated input, performs some calculations and then saves them into some read-only fields..

so all pretty specific (and some of the calculations are trade secrets)

but if anybody has any specific queries I'd be happy to share some of the code here..

Cheers

John
