Hi! I am using XOOPS version 2.2.3. I have problem when using form validation with xoopsform and smarty template together;

Ok, I have the form like this :



The form can be rendered through a template but I found that form validation at the "catname" field doesn't work unless I change. ie. It won't warn of empty string.

to


I notice that when using the display() method, a "*" is marked beside the "catname", but there is no such mark when using the
template method.

Any idea ?

Thanks
Cody

Hi all,

Sugar, aka RB , the Author of the magazine module is so nice that he provided me some hints at our local support site. Finally, I have solved the problem. Here is the summary of the solution :

1. Using xoopsform methods , create the prefered form eg include/form.inc.php :



2.In the php script eg submit.php where you need to use this form


3. Finally, in the smarty temmplate , ie templates/xinventory_category.html :


One more interest thing is that, I cannot not use $form->insertBreak() in "include/form.inc.php" if I don't use $form->display(); but the above solution can get rid of this.

Hope this helps others !

Regards
Cody
