validation of fields not working properly

Dear Aicha,

I'm using Joomla 3.4.1 en Visforms 3.4.3.
No other extensions present apart from noconflict and JCE.

It looks like the email comparison and the error text that I defined are not evaluated.
I have put breaks on the document ready statement and on the rules statement.
So, the run stops like expected on the document ready statement, but it doesn't enter the statement, but skips to the end on the next step!

jQuery(document).ready( function(){
var validator = jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#visform1').validate({
wrapper: "p",
//absolutly necessary when working with tinymce!
ignore: ".ignore",
rules: {
"email-herhaling" : {equalTo: "#field2",}, },
messages: {
"naam": {required: "Vul hier uw naam in",},"email-herhaling": {email: "De twee email adressen zijn niet gelijk aan elkaar",required: "De twee email adressen zijn niet gelijk aan elkaar",equalTo: "De twee email adressen zijn niet gelijk aan elkaar",}, },
errorPlacement: function (error, element){
error.appendTo('div.fc-tbx' + element.attr("id"));
error.addClass("errorcontainer");
},

}); etc....

Have you any ideas on what could be wrong?
Regards Irene

Hi Irene,

this validation options usually works fine. This must be a problem on your system.
Joomla! 3.4.1 is fine with Visforms, too.

Here some suggestions that come into mind.

Did you create template overrides for the form layouts in your template (based on the old Visforms 3.1.2 files?
They will no longer work with Visforms 3.4.3

EqualTo validation is now part of the Visforms core, so you can just use the option in the field configuration. Did you use this option?

If you cannot figure it by yourself I would at least need a link to the form.

Kind Regards,
Aicha

Dear Aicha,

Just to be sure I deïnstalled visforms. Downloaded Visforms (visForms_j3.3.6_3.4.3) from your site and installed it.
There's one difference: I can't access the script anymore, let alone debug it in firebug...

There are no overrides.
I used the Equal to option.

Here is the link: joopvangoozen.nl/index.php/contact
Let me know if you need back end access.
(Please don't mind the styling, I haven't done that yet)

Thanks in advance!
Irene

After adding the line: <jdoc:include type="head" /> in my template, I can use the debugger as expected. Pfff that's a relief!

But the run stil skips the document.ready function after pressing "versturen"....

Hi Irene,

please include

in your template.
This will fix the problem, I think.

As almost every Joomla! 3 Template includes the bootstrap framework (and the jQuery Library with it) I actually overlooked, that I have forgotten to include the jQuery Library in Visforms for those who do not have it.

I have fixed this Problem in Visforms 3.5.0 but as this is still a beta Version I do not show it in the auto updater.

So you have to make sure that the template includes the jQuery with the code above.

Kind Regards,
Aicha

Dear Aicha,

It does solve the problem!
I hadn't included the jquery library in my template.
So now i know how to include it (and bootstrap and mootools) in a simple and elegant way!

Thank you very much,

Regards
Irene
