Tell us what you are trying to do?
Use custom validations on a post edit form.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate
I have some custom validations that trigger across multiple different forms (as they all serve slightly different purposes but from the same root data). The validations work perfectly and trigger correctly across each of the forms, but the default edit form is acting very strangely. When the validation triggers, the form duplicates itself underneath the original form!
I know this sounds really strange, so I've attached some screenshots of the Edit form as it's supposed to look (screenshot 27), then the Edit form after a validation trigger with the resulting issue (screenshot 28), and finally another form with the same validation triggering so you can see it behaves normally (screenshot 29).
Here is the code for the edit form:
[credform]
[cred_field field='form_messages' class='alert alert-warning']
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_school-term">[cred_i18n name='school-term-label']School Term[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='school-term' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_term-year">[cred_i18n name='term-year-label']Term Year[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='term-year' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row center-calendars">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_term-start-date">[cred_i18n name='term-start-date-label']Start Date[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='term-start-date' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_term-end-date">[cred_i18n name='term-end-date-label']End Date[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='term-end-date' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group token-end-layout">
<div class="row center-calendars">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_term-token-end-date">[cred_i18n name='term-token-end-date-label']Token End Date (Optional)[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='term-token-end-date' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
Currently updating the Token End Date will only affect <strong>newly created tokens</strong> and will not cascade to existing ones.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
[cred_field field='form_submit' output='bootstrap' value='Save' class='btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block']
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg btn-block" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
[/credform]
Here is an example piece of validation code as demonstrated in the screenshots (I've left off the function declaration and hook call, but it's standard):
//** Validation for New Term form OR Edit Term form OR Edit Term Token End Date form **//
if( $form_data['id'] == 446 || $form_data['id'] == 732 || $form_data['id'] == 1912 )
{
if( $form_data['id'] == 446 ) {
$term_end_date = $fields['wpcf-term-end-date']['value']['datepicker'];
} else {
$term_end_date = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-term-end-date', true );
}
/* Validation - Check the Token End Date comes after the Term End Date */
if ( $fields['wpcf-term-token-end-date']['value']['datepicker'] != NULL && $fields['wpcf-term-token-end-date']['value']['datepicker'] < $term_end_date )
{
//Token End Date error message
$errors['term-token-end-date'] = 'Token End Date must be greater than or equal to the Term End Date of ' . date( 'd/m/Y', $term_end_date );
}
}
I'm completely baffled by this behavior and can find absolutely nothing wrong anywhere, nor can I find any errors being generated. I'd really appreciate some help figuring out why on earth it's doing this.
Many thanks.
