[SOLVED] eForm automatic validation error on select boxes (eform 1.4.4)

Hi,

I’m using eform 1.4.4 with Modx 0.9.6 and have a problem with automatic validation of select boxes.

My eform chunk looks like this:

<select name="region" id="region" size="1" eform="Region:integer:1::#RANGE 1~81" />
	[[Townlists? &mode=`selectlist` &limit=`0`]]
</select>

The ’Townlists’ snippet produces a list like this:

<option value=""></option>
<option value="1">Town1</option>
<option value="2">Town2</option>
<option value="3">Town3</option>
<option value="4">Town4</option>
<option value="5">Town5</option>
...

But eform does not accept the values of this select box.

The following validation rules I tried already without success:

eform="Region:integer:1::"
eform="Region:integer:1"
eform="Region:integer:1::#RANGE 1~81"
eform="Region:integer:0::#RANGE 1~81"
eform="Region:integer:1::#RANGE 1-81"
eform="Region:integer:0::#RANGE 1-81"

The eform error messages are all the time: ’Incorrect value’
or with #RANGE field: ’Value not in permitted range’.

How is eform accepting ’dynamic’ select values? Or do I have a syntax error in my eform validation rules?

Many thanks for help.

There are several examples floating around in the forum on how to do this and why the way you have tried this does not work (which basically comes down to the fact that what you see in your browser is not the same as what eForm can see when it parses the form. The Townlists snippet is evaluated AFTER eform has finished)

Have a look at this article in the wiki

First thanks for your immediate response TobyL.

I took a look on the link you proposed and it seems quite complicated. Wouldn’t it be much easier to do this?

Inserting only one effective line (88) of code in eform.inc.php (Lines 87 and 88 are new):

84  //required
85  if( $tmp=efLoadTemplate($tpl) ) $tpl=$tmp; else return $_lang['ef_no_doc'] . " '$tpl'";
86
87  //execute snippets inside form template, snippet call should be [[ ... ]]
88  $tpl = $modx->evalSnippets($tpl);
89  
90  # check for valid form key
91 if ($formid=="") return $_lang['ef_error_formid'];

After inserting line 88 in eform.inc.php snippets inside the chunk are evaluated before eform starts form validation. Not much tested jet but seems to work fine.

Nevertheless I would recommend including your link to the eform documentation delivered with the code.

Something similar is indeed on the table for an upcoming release of eForm.

Nevertheless I would recommend including your link to the eform documentation delivered with the code.

The documentation was written before the wiki existed, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind

I have a similar problem. But in my case is a javavascript filter! Can you help me?

http://www.interactivo.cl/dev/mobile.kia/cotizar

When I select a "Región" I have dynamicaly created the "Comuna" and "Concesionarios" options.

The eForm returns me a "invalidField" in the "Comuna" selector.

I understand the problem is the same with the snippet but needs another solution.

I know that this javascript is not the better option but is what i have

<div class="divline">
<label class="inputlabel" for="cbRegion"><em>*</em> Región</label>
<select name="cbRegion" id="cbRegion" onChange="redirect(this.options.selectedIndex,0,0)" eform="Seleccione su región:select:1" />
<option value="0">Seleccione una Región</option>
     <option value="1" >I Región</option>
     <option value="2" >II Región</option>
     <option value="3" >III Región</option>
     <option value="4" >IV Región</option>
     <option value="5" >V Región</option>
     <option value="6" >VI Región</option>
     <option value="7" >VII Región</option>
     <option value="8" >VIII Región</option>
     <option value="9" >IX Región</option>
     <option value="10" >X Región</option>
     <option value="11" >XI Región</option>
     <option value="12" >XII Región</option>
     <option value="13" >Región Metropolitana</option>
     <option value="14" >XIV Región</option>
     <option value="15" >XV Región</option>
</select>
</div>

<div class="divline">
<label class="inputlabel" for="cbComuna"><em>*</em> Comuna</label>
<select name="cbComuna" id="cbComuna"  onchange="javascript:fncCambiaCodigoArea(document.formulario,this.value,codigos);"  eform="Seleccione su Comuna:select:0" />
<option>Seleccione su Comuna</option>
</select>
</div>

<div class="divline">
<label class="inputlabel" for="concesionarios"><em>*</em> Concesionarios</label>
<select name="cbConcesionario" id="cbConcesionario" eform="Seleccione su concesionario:select:1" />
