This extension adds a new filter rule that adds the possibility for real form validation to Symphony. The form validation is done by Benjamin Keen's 'PHP Validation' script (http://www.benjaminkeen.com/software/php_validation/).
Requirements: Symphony 2.0 or greater.
- Upload the 'formvalidation' folder in this archive to your Symphony 'extensions' folder.
- Enable it at 'System' > 'Extensions'.
- Create a new section with a textarea field where the validation rules are put in.
- Go to 'System' > 'Preferences' and enter the name of the section and field where validation rules are stored.
- Add the 'Form Validation' filter rule to your event via 'Blueprints' > 'Events'.
- Save the event.
- Create a new record in the section created in step 3 and enter the proper validation rules into the textarea.
- Add a hidden form field containing the id of the record with the validation rules to your form.
- Initial release
