Additional Data Fields validation

Hi, it can be done with Javascript hooks. Do you have knowledge of Javascript?

Hi Nikolas

I have a very limited knowledge of javascript, but I do have programming experience. So if you point me in the right direction maybe I can solve it on my own

Thanks!

Okay I got it fixed with some javascript and simple RedExp.

Hi, here is sample Javascript code that you need to put below the shortcode:

<script type="text/javascript>
if(window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener("load", wfu_check_userdata, false); }
else if(window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent("onload", wfu_check_userdata); }
else { window["onload"] = wfu_check_userdata; }
function wfu_check_userdata() {
	Code_Initializators[Code_Initializators.length] = function(sid) {
		var Custom_Code_Objects = {};
		Custom_Code_Objects.pre_start_check = function (attr) {
			if (!attr) return attr;
			var sid = this.sid;
			var fid = 1;
			var WFU = GlobalData.WFU[sid];
			var props = WFU.userdata.props[fid];
			var result = true;
			//get and check field value
			var value = WFU.userdata.getValue(props);
			return result;
		}
		return Custom_Code_Objects;
	}
	wfu_Load_Code_Connectors(1);
}
</script>

This code inserts a check before the upload starts. If the check passes, then function Custom_Code_Objects.pre_start_check should return true, otherwise it should return false.

In this line var value = WFU.userdata.getValue(props); I show you how you can get the value of the field with index fid.

Hi Nickolas

Looks great and a lot more thought through than what I hacked out ??

But I’m having some difficulties understanding where I can setup the parameters for the validation. Do I need to set the props value ?

I have this RedExp that I want it to correspond to:
/^\d{1,3}.\d{1,20},\d{1,3}.\d{1,20}/

Thanks for all you help !

And just saw that without any changes to the code you just send, it gives:
TypeError: props is undefined

Hi, strange, can I see the page myself? what is the URL?

Nickolas

Hi

Sure the url is: https://wi-form.com/uploader/
and the pwd is Nickolas

The uploader only takes .obj

And I made a script that alerts if the user input doesn’t match "/^\d{1,3}.\d{1,20},\d{1,3}.\d{1,20}/" formatting, but as of right now the user can still upload even though the input doesn’t match.

My script is:

"
var input = document.getElementsByClassName("file_userdata_message")
var userinput = document.getElementById("hiddeninput_1_userdata_0")

input[0].addEventListener("blur", function() {
	userinputNow = userinput.value
	regExp = /^\d{1,3}.\d{1,20},\d{1,3}.\d{1,20}/;
    var match = regExp.test(userinputNow);
    if (match){
    	return
    }
    else if (userinputNow == 0){
    	return
    }
    else{
    	alert('Please enter valid coordinates')
    }
});
"

Hi Nikolas

Okay got it fixed ??

Turned out that it was just because the fid was set to 1 and the userinput element was 0

From there I just implemented the RedExp and if it was not a match, it alerts (could be done more elegant, but it works) and returns false. Thanks for all the help !

For anyone in the future here is the working script:
if(window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener(“load”, wfu_check_userdata, false); }
else if(window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent(“onload”, wfu_check_userdata); }
else { window[“onload”] = wfu_check_userdata; }

function wfu_check_userdata() {
Code_Initializators[Code_Initializators.length] = function(sid) {
var Custom_Code_Objects = {};
Custom_Code_Objects.pre_start_check = function (attr) {
if (!attr) return attr;
regExp = /^\d{1,3}.\d{1,20},\d{1,3}.\d{1,20}/;
var sid = this.sid;
var fid = 0;
var WFU = GlobalData.WFU[sid];
var props = WFU.userdata.props[fid];
var result = true;
//get and check field value
var value = WFU.userdata.getValue(props);
var match = regExp.test(value)
console.log(value)
if (match) {
return result;
}
else {
alert(‘Please enter valid coordinates’)
return false;

}

}
return Custom_Code_Objects;
}
wfu_Load_Code_Connectors(1);
}

Ok good.

Regards
