I want expand all bootstrap panels, if there is an error in a CRED form. (ajax enabled)

I need a javascript event to attach this script

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
   $(if there are errors in the form).something(function(){
	$(".panel-group .collapse").collapse('show');
  });
});

Do you have documentation for javascript events, CRED, views etc?

Hi Tina

I checked with the developers if there are any custom JS events that would be triggered by form invalidation and was told no, though it is an area of CRED that needs reviewing and improving.

We may be able to contrive a solution, but which form validation are you talking about, first?

Do you mean the Types validation that occurs on the front-end (e.g. where a Types field is required), or do you mean server side validation where you use the CRED API to include custom validation? And forms submit via page reload or ajax?

Front end, ajax submit.
If any errors in the form, that prevents it from being submitted, like required fields.

(I have grouped form fields in bootstrap accordion panels. If there are any errors in the form I need to expand all panels so the user can see all fields with errors).

I tried this but it does not fire in all browsers. Only Chrome is ok.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $("form").submit(function(e){
	e.preventDefault(e);
	$(".panel-group .collapse").collapse('show');
	$(this).submit();
  });
});

I tied it to .cred-form instead of "form" and now it works in Firefox and Safari.
Strange ...

But still it would be great to get a list of CRED ajax events

Hi Tina

Yes, I can see how that works, because if there are no errors the form is submitted and the page updates and so expanding the panels is irrelevant.

Can't account for why using $("form") doesn't work in Safari an FF, though.

As I mentioned before, I spoke to the developers and they acknowledge that this is an area where CRED is lacking, and this code needs refactoring, at which point they can add custom JS events, but I can't say when that might happen.
