Hi there,
I want to know if there is a way to combine to validation rule, for example we have "phone number" validation rule and "unique field" validation rule seperately,
by merging theme, eventually we can have "unique phone number" validation rule.

Can anybody help me with this??

Hello,

The following article explains how you can create your own validation rule, in your case you can simply combine the code from both functions:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...alidation-rules.html

would you please be a little more accurate? i'm not too professional in coding,
infact, i don't know how to merge too functions, i want to merge functions "uniquefield" and "phone number"
thank many many times

Hello,

You can try this approach without modifying the source code:

- make your textbox field required and set the "uniquefield" validation rule
- add the following script in the "Scripts Called On Form Process" area:

For the script to work you need to replace "textbox" (found 2 times) with your textbox component exact name.

This approach utilizes one validation rule when configuring the component and the calls the function to validate the phone number when the form is processed.

More information on the $invalid method and the scripting areas of RSForm!Pro can be found here:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...602-php-scripts.html

I was wondering if there's a way to change the validation message dynamically. For example. I created my own custom validation see below and I would like to modify $data to change to be more informative depending on which of my test failed. So I would like to do

$data = JText::_('THISEMAILALREADYEXIST');

but since the variable $data is not passed by reference I can't do this. Maybe in the next release this variable could be passed by reference or is there another way to do this?


public static function uniqueemail($value, $extra=null, $data=null){
//check if email is valid
$regex = '/[\d!#$%&\'*+.\/=?_`a-z{|}~^-]++@[\d.a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6}/i';
if (!preg_match($regex, $value))
{
return false;
}

//check if email is unique
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('count(*)');
$table = $db->quoteName('#__users');
$query->from($table);
$conditions = array(
$db->quoteName('email').' = '.$db->quote(trim($value))
);
$query->where($conditions);
$db->setQuery($query);

$result = $db->loadResult();

if($result){
return false;
}
