im trying to build a fairly complex validation script but i can't even get off the ground. my controller isn't even wanting to display the form. It displays 'main_view' when i try to go to the the right url when it should be displaying 'create_event'. 'create_event' is the view that holds my form
heres the relevant controller
Code: function create()
{
if($this->session->userdata('logname')){}else
{
redirect('mains');
}
$data['notifications'] = $this->Loginmodel->get_notifications();
$data['messages'] = $this->Loginmodel->get_messages();
$data['title'] = "Publish Event";
$this->load->view('header_view', $data);
#####decide which views to load###################
if($this->session->userdata('logname') == "")
{
$this->load->view('login_view', $data);
}
else
{
$this->load->view('logged_view', $data);
}
$this->load->library('validation');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$rules['title'] = "required|xss_clean";
$rules['description'] = "required|xss_clean";
$rules['location'] = "required|xss_clean";
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);
if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('main_view', $data);
}
else
{
$this->load->view('create_event', $data);
}
$this->load->view('footer_view');
}

just realized that i had the main_view and create_event switched so i switched them but im not coming up with errors when i submit the form
heres my create_event view
Code: <?php
echo validation_errors();
echo form_open('event/create');
$data = array(
'name' => 'username',
'maxlength' => '100',
'size' => '75',
);
echo "Title: <br>".form_input($data)."<br><br>";
$descr = array(
'name' => 'description',
'cols' => '57',
'rows' => '6',
);
echo "Description: <br>".form_textarea($descr)."<br><br>";
$location = array(
'name' => 'location',
'maxlength' => '100',
'size' => '75',
);
echo "Location: <br>".form_input($location)."<br><br>";
echo form_submit('submit', 'Publish');
echo form_close();
i have several dropdowns after location and before the submit button but the character limit on here wouldn't let me post the whole thing

Any reason to be using the old validation library instead of form_validation?
I haven't set rules the way you are, but I believe they are being set incorrectly:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...lesasarray
Quote:$config = array(
array(
'field' => 'username',
'label' => 'Username',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'password',
'label' => 'Password',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'passconf',
'label' => 'Password Confirmation',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'email',
'label' => 'Email',
'rules' => 'required'
)
);
$this->form_validation->set_rules($config);

i got it working. But i have a new question. Where do you put a custom error message? i have the following but its still outputting the old error message.
Code: if ($this->validation->run() == TRUE)
{
$this->load->view('main_view');
}
else
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('required', 'The % is required');
$this->load->view('create_event');
}

You seem to be mixing two different libraries, make sure you aren't getting validation and form_validation confused.
Validation is deprecated.

its not working...i have this below...it gets the other others for the required fields but not for my callback
Code: $this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Title', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('location', 'Location', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('description', 'Description', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('smonth', 'Start Month', 'callback_start_date');
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<h5>', '</h5>');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)
{
$this->load->view('main_view');
}
else
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('start_date', 'Your start date doesnt exists.');
$this->load->view('create_event');
}
$this->load->view('footer_view');
}
function end_date()
{
if(checkdate($_POST['emonth'], $_POST['eday'], $_POST['eyear']))
{
return TRUE;
}else
{
return FALSE;
}
}
function start_date()
{
if(checkdate($_POST['smonth'], $_POST['sday'], $_POST['syear']))
{
return TRUE;
}else
{
return FALSE;
}
}

Have you attempted doing an echo to confirm it hits your callback function?
[eluser]dadamssg[/eluser]
i know its hitting the callback because it redirects back to the form when i input say feb 31 2010 and if enter a valid date it redirects as if it were correct
[eluser]dadamssg[/eluser]
i get this
"Unable to access an error message corresponding to your field name."
[eluser]dadamssg[/eluser]
ah i figured it out...i had to put it into the start_date function. new questoin....I have a variables that contain the numbers of the current month, day, and year($mo, $da, and $yr). How do i use those to select the current day in this select field. I know i have to use set_select() but you have to use "TRUE" instead of actual values...
heres what i have
Code: $sday = array(
'1' => '1',
'2' => '2',
'3' => '3',
'4' => '4',
'5' => '5',
'6' => '6',
'7' => '7',
'8' => '8',
'9' => '9',
'10' => '10',
'11' => '11',
'12' => '12',
'13' => '13',
'14' => '14',
'15' => '15',
'16' => '16',
'17' => '17',
'18' => '18',
'19' => '19',
'20' => '20',
'21' => '21',
'22' => '22',
'23' => '23',
'23' => '23',
'24' => '24',
'25' => '25',
'26' => '26',
'27' => '27',
'28' => '28',
'29' => '29',
'30' => '30',
'31' => '31',
);
echo form_dropdown('sday', $sday, set_value('sday', $da))." ";
