Thanks! I can now save changes to required fields. - fred

Please change line 234 of plugins/jevevents/jevcustomfields/customfields/jevcfform.php to

Code: Select all

if(testitem.name == name || "custom_"+testitem.name == name || testitem.id == name  || ("#"+testitem.id) == name  || testitem.hasClass(name.substr(1))){

from

Code: Select all

if(testitem.name == name || testitem.id == name  || ("#"+testitem.id) == name  || testitem.hasClass(name.substr(1))){

Then the required check should work.

This worked to resolve a problem with submitting a required custom field, but now I've encountered a similar issue. I need to add a multiple select option, and I would prefer to have it displayed as multiple checkboxes so I've added a custom field type='jevcfcheckbox' with allowmultiple='1' and required='1'. Even after changing the default option, the form will not save. No matter what's selected, it keeps producing the field required message. I have other required fields that are working when this new field isn't included. Here's the code for the field

Code: Select all

<field name="danceLevel" type="jevcfcheckbox" default="-1" label="Dance Level(s)" required="1" description="Select Dance Level" filter="1" allowoverride="1" allowmultiple="1" access="1" requiredmessage="Select the main Dance Level for this dance/event. If it's not a dance, select NA" readaccess="1">
<option value="-1">Select One or more</option>
            <option value="0" default="0" >Basic</option>
            <option value="1" default="0" >MS</option>
            <option value="2" default="0" >Plus</option>
            <option value="3" default="0" >Adv</option>
            <option value="4" default="0" >C</option>
            <option value="5" default="0" >DBD</option>
            <option value="6" default="0" >Rnds</option>
            <option value="7" default="0" >Other</option>
            <option value="8">NA</option>
         </field>

P.S. After posting the previous message, I discovered that all of the options didn't have a positive value greater then zero, so I changed the code to what's given below. I also tried various default options, but the form still will not save no matter what's selected.

Code: Select all

<field name="danceLevel" type="jevcfcheckbox" default="1" label="Dance Level(s)" required="1" description="Select Dance Level" filter="1" allowoverride="1" allowmultiple="1" access="1" requiredmessage="Select the main Dance Level for this dance/event. If it's not a dance, select NA" readaccess="1">
            <option value="1" default="0" >Basic</option>
            <option value="2" default="0" >MS</option>
            <option value="3" default="0" >Plus</option>
            <option value="4" default="0" >Adv</option>
            <option value="5" default="0" >C</option>
            <option value="6" default="0" >DBD</option>
            <option value="7" default="0" >Rnds</option>
            <option value="8" default="0" >Other</option>
            <option value="9" default="0" >NA</option>
</field>

Checking required fields for multiple checkboxes is potentially complex - is it required that one or all of the fields are checked?

There is a glitch in the javascript code for Joomla 3.0 which I have a fix for and will include in a new release later today. NOTE that it will check for at least one of the options to be selected AND the default value at field level MUST be set to zero i.e. it will look for one of the checkboxes to have a value that doesn't match this. Or otherwise you would do something like this

Code: Select all

    <field name="danceLevel" type="jevcfcheckbox" default="6" label="Dance Level(s)" required="1" description="Select Dance Level" filter="1" allowoverride="1" allowmultiple="1" access="1" requiredmessage="Select the main Dance Level for this dance/event. If it's not a dance, select NA" readaccess="1">
                <option value="1" default="0" >Basic</option>
                <option value="2" default="0" >MS</option>
                <option value="3" default="0" >Plus</option>
                <option value="4" default="0" >Adv</option>
                <option value="5" default="0" >C</option>
                <option value="6" default="1" >DBD</option>
                <option value="7" default="0" >Rnds</option>
                <option value="8" default="0" >Other</option>
                <option value="9" default="0" >NA</option>
    </field>

In this case one of the options OTHER than 6 must be selected.

Thank you. I think I can make this work. I want at least one item selected.

I should have the new release available in about an hour from now.

Thank you. Updating to Customfields ver 3.0.7 has enabled me to achieve a require multiple select with checkboxes.
