So I made a form I used a prehook to populate it, that works great, and I made a hook to validate the input fields and I made errors for these in my hook using addError, I am also using the built in email validator.
The problem I am having is FormIt is processing the email validation before my custom hook which validates the fields, so if I submit the form without filling it out this is what happens:
After I fill out the email field with a valid email then my hook works:
So I need to get my form validating all these fields at the same time not like its currently validating the email first and then running my custom hook.
I tried looking into
Custom Error Messages but don't quite understand how it works, I want a custom error for each input this seems more like a custom error for all fields.
Here's what my FormIt call looks like:
[[!FormIt?
&preHooks=`solartekPrehook`
&hooks=`solartekValidation,email,redirect`
&emailTpl=`contactFormTpl`
&emailFrom=`[email protected]`
&emailTo=`[email protected]`
&redirectTo=`2`
&validate=`Fname:required, Lname:required, email:email:required, zip-code:required, electric-bill:required, house-value:required`
]]
This is my prehook:
$hook->setValues(array(
'Fname' => 'Enter Your First Name',
'Lname' => 'Enter Your Last Name',
'email' => 'Enter Email',
'zip-code' => 'Enter Zip Code',
'electric-bill' => 'Enter Average Annual Electricity Bill',
'house-value' => 'Enter Estimated House Value',
));
And this is my Custom Hook:
<?php
$i=0;
if($hook->getValue('Fname')=="Enter Your First Name"){
$hook->addError('Fname','Please enter your first name');
$hook->setValue('Fname','Please enter your first name');
$i=1;
}
if($hook->getValue('Lname')=="Enter Your Last Name"){
$hook->addError('Lname','Please enter your last name');
$hook->setValue('Lname','Please enter your last name');
$i=1;
}
if($hook->getValue('email')=="Enter Email"){
$hook->addError('email','Please enter your email');
$hook->setValue('email','Please enter your email');
$i=1;
}
if($hook->getValue('zip-code')=="Enter Zip Code"){
$hook->addError('zip-code','Please enter your zip-code');
$hook->setValue('zip-code','Please enter your zip-code');
$i=1;
}
if($hook->getValue('electric-bill')=="Enter Average Annual Electricity Bill"){
$hook->addError('electric-bill','Please enter your average electric bill');
$hook->setValue('electric-bill','Please enter your average electric bill');
$i=1;
}
if($hook->getValue('house-value')=="Enter Estimated House Value"){
$hook->addError('house-value','Please enter your house value');
$hook->setValue('house-value','Please enter your house value');
$i=1;
}
if($i==1){
return false;}
else {
return true;
}
Thanks for your help guys.
