Hi all. Here i'll describe my server validation.
It consists of of 3 steps:
1. to add control to the administration panel (validation tab),
administrator/components/com_chronocontact/admin.chronocontact.html.php file
2. to add code to components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php file
3. to add chrono_servervalidate.php file (contains function for validation).
OK, let's begin.
1.
administrator/components/com_chronocontact/admin.chronocontact.html.php file
line ~ 742
Now go to the validation tab and you will see servervalidation dropdown
2. components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php
line: before "/** * Main E-mail type switch "
3. Add chrono_servervalidate.php file to the components/com_chronocontact/ folder
