Validation Rules was created by Jeff
I have a custom field - checkbox. There are 4 options which can be selected. Is it possible to set a validation rule so that a minimum of 2 checkboxes are checked? Thanks.

Hi Jeff
Yes. You can edit the custom field, set the Validation Rules to validate[minCheckbox[2]] and it should work well. Please see posabsolute.github.io/jQuery-Validation-Engine/ to see all the validation options which you can use (we use jQuery validation for this validation)

Hi Tuan
I did check the manual, but I did not find a solution for this: I need the date in this format: dd.mm.YYYY.
I have created a custom textfield. There users must enter their birthday in above format.
How can I change this?
Dates use the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD
Is not correct for my use
Thanks a lot!

Hi Patrick
You will need to create a Date custom field instead of a text field. Then go to Events Booking -> Configuration, find the config option "Date Custom Field Format", change it to the format you want
After that, It should work as expected (users can choose the date from date picker input, not entering it manually)

Tuan

Hi Tuan
Thank you for the tip! It works.
Only one small thing: in the drop down menu of Date Custom Field Format I have no d. m. Y
I need it with the dots instead of slahs or dash. Any chance to change this?
Thank you so much!

Hi Patrick
You can download latest version from My Downloads menu item, upgrade it to your site. Then you can choose this format for date custom field

Hi Tuan
Thank you very much, now I can select d.m.Y from the drop down list.
I have now created a custom field of type Date. There I use validation Past Date. Unfortunately if I enter d.m.Y, I get an error message: Please correct it with format YYYY-MM-DD
I have set up d.m.Y everywhere in the configuration: Date Format, Event Date Format and Date Custom Field Format. It looks like the validation does not take over my d.m.Y setting(?)
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Patrick

Hi Patrick
Right now, the validation still doesn't work. We will need to alter some javascript validation engine to change this behavior. We are working on it at the moment and hopefully we will have it works well within this week
