Simple Validation

Using the suggestion/tutorial for applying field validation, I've downloaded the relevant script to a folder called js. Where must I put this folder.. in my template directory or in the room of the Joomla structure?

The tutorial makes reference to

<?php
global $mosConfig_live_site;
$folder = $mosConfig_live_site.'/components/com_chronocontact';
echo "<script src='$folder/prototype.js' type='text/javascript'></script><br />";
echo "<script src='$folder/validation.js' type='text/javascript'></script>";
?>

How do I know where $folder is referring to?<br><br>Post edited by: abasel, at: 2008/03/04 20:51

Hi abasel,

The tutorial is old and you can now do this validation in ChronoForms using the Validation tab.

PS BTW the tutorial says "upload the files to the components/com_chronocontact folder".

K... thanks for that

I'm trying a simple form:

Name: <input name="name" value="" type="text"><br />
E-mail: <input name="email" value="" type="text"><br />
<input name="submit" value="Submit" type="submit">


In validation, I have
1 - required (not blank) => name
7- validate-email (a valid email address) => email

The form forces the name but not the email address.... why is this?

Ignore.. seems to be working. I must have done something silly :-)

Hi abasel,

'validate' and 'required' are different. If you want 'email' required you must put it in the 'required' box too.

Excellent... thanks for that... what a great component.
