Hi,

is it posible to validate the date format.

<field name='date_of_birth'   type='calendar' class='calendar' format='%d-%m-%Y'    default='00-00-0000'  label='TPL_EX_DATE_OF_BIRTH'  description='TPL_EX_DATE_OF_BIRTH_DESC' />

When someone add in the following text in the date field "okt 2015" the content article is fully messed up.
But I can’t find if it is possible to check the fields before saving.

Best regards,
Ocean

Hi

Could you clarify the steps to replicate the issue? I have no clue of where to find this field.

Add the following script to ../templates/ja_medicare/etc/extrafields/test-fields.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<form>
<fields name='attribs'>
    <fieldset name='extra-fields' label='TPL_GROUP_EXTRA_FIELDS_LABEL2' description='TPL_GROUP_EXTRA_FIELDS_DESC2' group='extrafields'>
        <field name='date_of_birth'   type='calendar' class='calendar' format='%d-%m-%Y'    default='00-00-0000'  label='TPL_EX_DATE_OF_BIRTH'  description='TPL_EX_DATE_OF_BIRTH_DESC' ></field>    
    </fieldset>
</fields>
</form>

• add a new category in your back-end for example "test-cat"
• assign extra field "test-fields" to the category
• now make a new article in category "test-cat" title ‘test’
• also put a date in the extra field tab, just by typing the following "okt-2015"
• save the article
• try to reopen it ….

oeps…. error

blanco screen see second attachment.

after changing the date by login on your phpmyadmin to the correct format "01-10-2015"

your article can reopen again.

So. Is it possible to validate the extra fields before saving.

At this moment, the validation like that is not available, you will need to customise to have that feature.

that is a pity…
Who could modify it through a plugin. $$
