[SOLVED] Code field validation

Hi,

Ok, thanks. I need a special text for the error message for that field, because the date must be greater than another date and may not be greater than today. I understand, that this is not possible at the moment? I can only use ONE error message for all code validations?

Ok, I can wait on the update, just to understand, how it is at the moment.

Thanks, best regards
Eric

I can only use ONE error message for all code validations?

Yes, due to the bug.

Ok, I can wait on the update, just to understand, how it is at the moment.

Update should be out today or tomorrow for CB Code Field that'll fix this in addition to adding some new features.

One way you can prepare for the update is just use a string as the validation error and translate that string. Example as follows.

Validation Error: Whoops, you can't set this greater than today!

Your language override would then look like the below.

Key: Whoops, you can't set this greater than today!
Text: YOU BROKE IT!

This kind of lets you prepare translations in advance with English fallback built in.

CB Code Field 2.1.0 is now available. The validation error message behavior has been fixed so you shouldn't have any issues translating it now. Change log can be found below and should have a blog up by end of day tomorrow with what's new/fixed.

Great, this information I needed, now it works. I had only change to

Code:

return strtotime( '[value]' ) >= strtotime( '[DATE_FIELD_2]' );

Thanks a lot, best regards

Hi,
I tried to get this validation only if [Date_Field_2] is not empty. But I cannot get the right code.

Best would be:

I have: [Date_Field_1], [Date_Field_2]

1) I need: [Date_Field_1] may not be equal or greater than now
Code:
2) I need: [Date_Field_1] may not be greater than [Date_Field_2], but if [Date_Field_2] is empty, nothing shall be done

I tried to get the code for all three variations ( [Date_Field_1] <= now, [Date_Field_1] < [Date_Field_2] but only if [Date_Field_2] is not empty.

I cannot get this work, do you have a hint for that?

Thanks, best regards
Eric

You should be able to exclude empty by checking if it's empty string or equal to empty date or datetime string. Example as follows.

Date Field:
Datetime Field:
Beyond that I've already provided example code for you. I'm sorry, but we don't provide custom coding assistance here. I can only provide simple examples. If you need further custom coding help consider hiring a developer to write whatever custom PHP you need.

Hi,

Thanks, that is right and enough. The problem was, I always got the error message because not the return was false but the code. I will try to get the right code now, thanks for your help.

Best regards
Eric
