[TYPO3-project-formidable] Conditional validators ?

[Jerome Schneider]

Hello list !

In future version 0.6.0 it will be possible to define a validatior using a 
userobj.

Example :

<renderlet:TEXT name="breast" label="How huge is you breast ?">
    <validators>
        <validator:STANDARD>
            <userobj>
                <php><![CDATA[

                    $aData = $this->oDataHandler->getFormData();    // get 
the submitted data

                    if($aData["sex"] == "female") {
                        return !empty($aData["breast"]);    // return true 
if set, false if empty
                    } else {
                        return true;    // always valid if it's a male
                    }
                ]]></php>
            </userobj>
            <message>Breast size is required, lady !</message>
        </validator:STANDARD>
    </validators>
</renderlet:TEXT>


And François is right, you could also have used a modifier to alter the 
shape of your XML during xml-precompilation ( ie, simply remove the "breast" 
rdt from the config before processing it )


We're working so hard to make things ever better. We're going to release 
this 0.6.0 version including huge improvements soon.
Namely :
   * Better handling of userobj ( php script in XML, ability to make 
typoscript userobj, ... )
   * Better performances ( some basic cahinbg layer has been implemented )
   * Server events ( NEW, sort of, just as things are done in .net to 
automaticaly handle user interactions ^^ ; really useful ! )
   * Multichannel rendering : NEW ;
            now renderlets don't just render a single string of HTML. They 
still render this HTML, but many other things, depending on the rdt.
            For instance : say we have a FILE renderlet, named "myimage", 
managing the upload of images in your form ; in your templates, you can use 
:

                -> {myimage}                   => as usual, full HTML string 
produced by the rdt, including label, input field, link to the image, ... 
all in the same string
                -> {myimage.imagetag}     => only the <IMG src="..." /> tag 
of the uploaded image
                -> {myimage.filepath}       => the full web filepath of this 
file
                -> {myimage.filepath.rel}  => the relative filepath of this 
file
                -> and many more ...

            This is a major improvement in the flexibility of formidable : 
you can now "recombine" HTML parts to fit your needs if the standard 
rendering of the renderlet don't .

    * Ability to reprocess HTML at runtime using Typoscript ( if combined to 
multichannel template, really powerful !!)
    * Much better debug of what's going on in your form.
    * A great abstraction layer for javascript to manage client events in a 
cross browser way
    * Ability to tell formidable that your form is in
        -> draft mode ( bypasses validation and save despite the errors )
        -> test mode ( just executes the validators, but don't save to 
database )
    * Ability to alter the way the lister builds it's SQL request to fetch 
search results
    * and much more ( i can't remember ^^ )

By the way, we presented formidable at the T3DD06 ( typo3 days ) and people 
were really enthousiastic ^^


Cheers, dear users !

There and back again, Jerome

If you play with the <modifiers>, you can do what you want.
-> the modifier will modify the validator if the field is or not blank.
