I have an input field that I am trying to add custom validation to (required depending on another field). If I put required AND funcCall() I can see that two errors are returned. If I only put the funcCall nothing is returned. I know it's getting in the function and the condition because I did a console.log() but for some reason it seems like it needs an initial rule to fail to show the error.

Call:

<input type="text" class="validate[funcCall[validatePassportRequired]]" id="form_register_passport_number" value="" name="passport_number" size="50">

Function:

function validatePassportRequired(field, rules, i, options) {
  if ($('#register_for').val()!='Local') {
    return options.allrules.required.alertText;
  }
}

So If I change the Call to:

class="validate[required, funcCall[validatePassportRequired]]"

I get two * This field is required

Do I have to have another validation rule along with the funcCall?

just add the following line before returning the error message and instead of required in returning message put the function name before .alertText.

rules.push('required');

@sunzyflower in your case your function would see like this..

function validatePassportRequired(field, rules, i, options) {
   if ($('#register_for').val()!='Local') {
   rules.push('required');  
   return options.allrules.validatePassportRequired.alertText;
   }
}

  • Thank you so much! It actually started giving me double message with this so I took out the return and left just the rules.push('required') and that worked perfectly! – sunzyflower May 05 '13 at 00:14
  • Hi @sunzyflower I know this is old thread, it helps me a lot with legacy project, may I know how you handle custom errormsg text? – Yosep G Mar 10 '22 at 11:25

Use

funcCallRequired[validatePassportRequired]

instead of

funcCall[validatePassportRequired]

This will add required internally without having a double message.
