Form validation

Form validation

Hi, I'm having trouble with validating a custom registration form. The form works as intended and is well integrated into Moodle's db, but I can't get any javascript validators to work (the latest one I've tried wants to submit the form before validating).

Is there any way to use Moodle's built-in validation scripts to use on my form? I know that it validates fields on its built-in signup page but I can't figure out where that could be located.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I think it will be useful to know if:

1) you build your form with Moodle standard forms ( formslib )

2) you want o make the validation on client side ( empty fields, valid email ...) or on server side ( check against database ) .

Let us know! Thank you!

Hi manolescu, 

Actually, I decided not to use moodle's built-in forms after all. I instead created my own form and used Javascript to validate it along with PHP for the username. It works fine now.

Thanks anyway
