Edit report at https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=20990&edit=1 ID: 20990 Comment by: betrazivis@gmail.com Reported By: betrazivis at gmail dot com Summary: Serverside group validation of single elements Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: HTML_QuickForm2 Operating System: Linux, CentOS Package Version: 2.0.2 PHP Version: 5.6.16 Roadmap Versions: New Comment: Ok, now I understand. No serverside validation message by default on grouped elements. I admit, it took me hours to understand how this works. Maybe this could be a feature in next releases ;) Thank you. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-14 06:32:53] avb -Status: Open +Status: Bogus That's not exactly a bug, but a shortcoming of default templates for Default renderer. This is also documented: https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform2.renderers.default.php#package.html.html-quickform2.renderers.default.groups What happens is that the rule sets the error for grouped element (and thus validation fails), but the error is not displayed as there is no placeholder to do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-11 06:26:13] betrazivis_2 Description: ------------ Validation of elements inside a group is only possible with CLIENT_SERVER flag, not only with SERVER. Test script: --------------- $form = new HTML_QuickForm2('Rulestest'); $fsGrouped = $form->addElement('fieldset')->setLabel('Validating grouped elements'); $boxGroup = $fsGrouped->addElement('group', 'boxes')->setLabel('Check at least two:'); $boxGroup->addElement('checkbox', null, array('value' => 'red'))->setContent('<span style="color: #f00;">Red</span>'); $text = $boxGroup->addElement('text', 'testUsername', array('style' => 'width: 200px;')) ->setLabel('Username (letters only):'); $boxGroup->addRule('required', 'Check at least of these', 1, HTML_QuickForm2_Rule::SERVER); $text->addRule('required', 'Text is required', null, HTML_QuickForm2_Rule::SERVER); $form->addElement('submit', 'testSubmit', array('value' => 'Send')); $form->validate() $renderer = HTML_QuickForm2_Renderer::factory('default'); $form->render($renderer); // Output javascript libraries, needed for client-side validation echo $renderer->getJavascriptBuilder()->getLibraries(true, true); echo $renderer; Expected result: ---------------- A validation result of $text like "CLIENT_SERVER". Actual result: -------------- No validation message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=20990&edit=1
