I'm trying to add some code to fields.php to validate custom fields with DateTime.
Here's the code I'm using:
Code:
function _renderDateTimeValidation($row) {
?>
/*load the field value into a variable*/
$test_date = form.<?php echo $row->name;?>.value;
/*break it into an array*/
$test_arr = explode('/', $test_date);
if (count($test_arr) == 3) {
/*swapping around the array a little here, as checkdate expects mm/dd/yyyy */
if (checkdate($test_arr[1], $test_arr[0], $test_arr[2])) {
return;
} else {
/*just use the same string as for when there is an empty field - I can just change the text */
alert("<?php echo JText::_($row->title).' '.JText::_('PF_IS_REQUIRED'); ?>");
form.<?php echo $row->name; ?>.focus();
return ;
}
<?php
}
Unfortunately, it's not working - it just lets any text in as the date.
Any ideas?
Andy
