Form Validation

Formats

There are two valid formats, both works fine:

new

fillin: enabled: on

fields: required: msg: Please summarize the request under 80 characters here

req{category_id}:
  required:
    msg: required

req{type_id}:
  required:
    msg: required

req{notify_type_id}:
   required:
    msg: required

old

methods: post:

names: required:true required_msg: Please summarize the request under 80 characters here

req{category_id}:
  required:true

req{type_id}:
  required:true

req{notify_type_id}:
  required:true

I.e., first register the valid fields in methods/post, then specify the validation rule.

Backend and validation

http://www.symfony-project.org/forum/index.php/mv/tree/3235/

I tried to add validation to the form, with a file named edit.yml, which looks like:

methods:
  get:
    - "book{title}"
    - "book{author}"
  post:
    - "book{title}"
    - "book{author}"

names:
  book{title}:
    required:     Yes
    required_msg: You must provide a title

book{author}:
  required:   No

fillin:
  activate: on

But now, as soon as I click on the "Create" button or on the "Edit" button in the list page, the edit form is displayed with the error message "You must provide a title". It looks like it tries to validate the form as soon as it displays it…

[EDIT] Ok, problem solved. Just remove the get section of the methods section in the edit.yml, and it just works great!
