I have a very complicated form involving validation rules that change depending upon which radio button a user selects.

It's all working fine except in the use-case scenario where someone "changes their mind" and clicks a different radio button. The rules change as expected and everything seems to work fine, but there appears to be some "bleed-through" of the validation rules from the earlier radio button selection.

I only noticed this because one of the radio button selections has a larger overall set of rules than the other. When I choose the larger and then change to the smaller, it still validates against the larger's rules.

I'm doing all this with a jQuery bind("change") if/else statement:


PHP Code:
<?php 

$("[name=submissionType]").bind("change", function() {

        if ($(this).val() == 'Submission_Event') {

            $("#EventInformation").show();

            $("#OWUDailyCalendarForm").RSV({

                displayType: "alert-one",

                rules:["required,firstName,Please enter the OWU contact's first name.",

                "required,lastName,Please enter the OWU contact's last name.",

            });

        }

            $("#EventInformation").hide();

            $("#OWUDailyCalendarForm").RSV({

                displayType: "alert-one",

                ]

            });

        }

Basically, it's evaluating a particular radio button's value and then branching out via if/else to set the RSV instance displayType and rules settings and whatnot. Each branch has all of the validation rules that are needed, so in theory it should work (right?)

After I select the radio button that says it is an event, then the validation rules for event "win" (since they're lengthier?), even if I later change the radio button to be a non-event.

If my hunch about this is correct, then the fix should be for me to clear out the "rules" array somehow, but I've tried a half dozen different standard methods for array-clearing, as well as multiple different positions within the code (beyond the code that's mentioned above), but nothing seems to work.

I thought that RSV would already clear out the rules array when its defined, but apparently that's not the case?

Anyway, if anyone can provide any help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. It's one of those things that nobody noticed for nearly a year (I originally created this form last summer) but now that someone's found it, of course it has cropped up several times for various people.

In the case of submitting external data from the PDF forms, if some subforms are active, in the HTTP POST submission, only the last instance of the subform is submitted into the database.
This is probably due to a duplicate validation.
Now, I see that subforms feature is not available in Formtools.
What I would like to do is to submit the duplicate information contained into the subforms in a different table, that will have a one to many relationship with the main form, so I need to know, what files are involved in the process of inserting the external form data into the database, including TPL files, because I would like to modify the views as well, in order to be able to view the subforms as well.
You know your application best, and could help me get started, compared to me getting to understand the hole programming of the Formtools application.
So I need a point where to start.
I hope I'll get an answer.

Not sure if this can be done with reg_exp or not, but I'd like to create a PHP validation rule that is exactly the opposite of same_as. For example, on a form, the customer is allowed to choose their 1st choice and their 2nd choice, but I don't want to let them choose the SAME choice in both fields. Each of the 1st and 2nd choices needs to be different from each other. Any thoughts?

B
I can see in the validation.php file where the same_as rule is written, and I could easily just create another case in that file, but I want to make sure it never gets overwritten (you know, like a WP child theme's functions.php).

/global/code/validation.php:367-370
PHP Code:
<?php 

case "same_as":

        if ($fields[$field_name] != $fields[$field_name2])

          $errors[] = $error_message;

        break;

In the questionnaire I'm working with, there's a question like this:

What was your facility's total revenue last year?
And a bunch of following questions asking about sources of that revenue, e.g.:

- Of which, how much came from sales?

- Of which, how much came from services?

etc.

Can Form Tools ensure data entry consistency for questions like this? For example, at the end of entry of individual sources of revenue, I want to perform a summation across those sources. If they don't add up to be equal to total revenue, there will be a pop-up message, e.g., "Data entry inconsistency. Please ensure that individual sources add up to be equal to the total revenue." The respondents can choose to "Return" to start again from the Total revenue field, or to "Proceed anyway", acknowledging that there's some issue with their data quality.

As a further specification, is it possible to specify such summation only over valid values? For example, if respondents are not sure or don't know about some individual revenue source, they can fill in, say, -1 for that field. I hence only want summation over non-negative values.]]>

A newbie question:

I am trying to find a way to check the content of various textbox fiels on my form so as to ensure that they contain a number. If the number has decimal digits, those should be separated by a dot (not by a comma that often people use).

For that, I am trying to use the Custom Fields module. I have created a new field type ("test"), based on the Textbox field type. I would like to add a validation rule that would use a regular expression for the validation of the textbox, which in my case would be "/^\d*\.{0,1}\d*\z/".

I assume that, for an external form I would use something like
rules.push("reg_exp,field_name,'/^\d*\.{0,1}\d*\z/',Error message");
However, how could I do that using the interface of the Custom Fields module? The form that I plan to use this validation on is an internal one.

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS
In the mean time, I have managed to go around the problem. I have used a Hooks rule for "ft_create_blank_submission, end" and an identical one for "ft_update_sumbission, end", which goes through the $_POST fields that should have numbers, checks that the strings have number values, changes the commas to dots and then updates the content of the fieds prior to submission.
However, changing the user input in that way, is something that I would like to avoid.]]>

I have used a Hooks rule for "ft_create_blank_submission, end" and an identical one for "ft_update_sumbission, end", which goes through the $_POST fields that should have numbers, checks that the strings have number values, changes the commas to dots and then updates the content of the fieds prior to submission.
However, changing the user input in that way, is something that I would like to avoid.]]> <![CDATA[No ReCaptcha error returned...]]> https://forums.formtools.org/showthread.php?tid=4541 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:12:05 -0700 https://forums.formtools.org/showthread.php?tid=4541

in the rev.js I have to specify the field to look at.
The javascript works when I use a static date using a string. When I try to grab the field it fails. I believe it's due to using the wrong fromname.
so.. that being said: form name in rsv.js would be...
the table name in mysql? - ie: re_form_1
the form name described in the form view? ie: delivery form
Name of the published form file: ie: bndelivery.php?
I'm assuming it's not the form ID: ie: 1

Maybe that's not the problem. I know it all works with the static date and I can't get the error info go to group in with the others (I believe for the same reason)

These numbers can range from 1-900.

case "digitscommas_only":
if (form[fieldName].value && form[fieldName].value.match(/[\D,]+/))
{
if (!rsv.processError(form[fieldName], errorMessage))
return false;
}
break;

I thought I'd keep it simple with just Digits and comma range, but I'm missing something.

value.match(/[\D,]+/)) is allowing only digits, put a comma in the field and it fails. I tried the unicode variation as well [\D\U+002C]+
I also tried (/[\D\%%C%%]+/)) since the commas are replaced with %%C%% earlier on in the rsv.js, but I believe they are back by this point in the validation function.

[\D,]+ seemed pretty obvious. what am I missing?

I've installed FormTools several months ago, and it runs smooth !
Now some stupid person has found a way to spam the contest (where we use the formtool for).

We filter on unique email, but he keeps entering/spamming the contest with unique emailaddresses from the same domain and within the same IP number.

I've been looking for it in the tuts and this forum, but have not found the right solution.

Is there a way to blacklist a certain IP, or perhaps limit form submissions to 1 entry per IP ?

If you like I can past my PHP code of the form if that helps !

1) a great formscript
