I have an input field that I am trying to add custom validation to (required depending on another field). If I put required AND funcCall() I can see that two errors are returned. If I only put the funcCall nothing is returned. I know it's getting in the function and the condition because I did a console.log() but for some reason it seems like it needs an initial rule to fail to show the error.
Call:
<input type="text" class="validate[funcCall[validatePassportRequired]]" id="form_register_passport_number" value="" name="passport_number" size="50">
Function:
function validatePassportRequired(field, rules, i, options) {
if ($('#register_for').val()!='Local') {
return options.allrules.required.alertText;
}
}
So If I change the Call to:
class="validate[required, funcCall[validatePassportRequired]]"
I get two * This field is required
Do I have to have another validation rule along with the funcCall?
just add the following line before returning the error message and instead of required in returning message put the function name before .alertText.
rules.push('required');
@sunzyflower in your case your function would see like this..
function validatePassportRequired(field, rules, i, options) {
if ($('#register_for').val()!='Local') {
rules.push('required');
return options.allrules.validatePassportRequired.alertText;
}
}
