Formcat 1.01 released

[2005-01-03] Formcat 1.01 is a class for form validation in client-side.Its design goal is to generate the javascript for client-side validation as easy and flexible as possible.It runs on Smarty as a powerful plug-in.

[visit the Formcat site] [Download Formcat]

[BackGroud]
Form validation is one of the most frequently performed tasks when it comes to web application programming.In order to decrease the run load of server,we usually validate the data in client-side by Javascript or other script,but it's a tedious and time-consuming task.

SmartyValidate is powerful class to provide form validation in server-side.I didn't find a good solution for client-side validation.[url][/url]

The Formcat appears to be a good tool. But when I tested the example code it did not show any validation code.

What I saw in the source:

<form name="formReg" action="register.php" method="POST" onSubmit='return pigcatFCValidate_formReg(this);'>

I think the validation function is not generated.

I received this error message on both lite and pro version when trying to run the example included:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "formcat.html" in C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\test\formcat1.04-pro\smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Is there something I have done wrong?

Suggestion :
why dont you put everything that is needed (smarty etc etc...) in a bundle .zip file as another option for people to download. That way newbie like me who is not familiar or not heard of smarty can at least get the example to work. Instead of mentioning in the documentation that the user who is trying for the first time, asking them to download this and that, copy this from there to here etc etc... It really put people off to continue using it or even supporting your work if they are hit with error when even trying out a (which appear to be) simple example. Well, thats my 2 cents worth of opinion, the decision is up to you.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Alex

Formcat 1.04 is not XHTML Strict.


This was the only formcat thread here so I hope someone will see this...



Class file needs to read:

Code:

$replace = "<script type=\"text/javascript\">".


Code:

"/* <![CDATA[ */\n".
$this->jsStr.
"/* ]]> */\n</script>\n";    


function flashing:
Code:

eval('document.getElementById(\"'+name+'\").style.background=('+c+')?\"'+colorFlashing2+'\":\"'+colorFlashing+'\"');


line 155 to call flashing tho i dont think it matters any more since it switched to get element:

Code:

if($this->frmExtraFunc['flashFocus']) $str.="flashing(fc.id, '$field',0,10,0);\n";                          //Flash focus function




block.catform.php

change onSubmit to onsubmit.


I have not tested anything more then notEmpty (or w/e) and isValid, they both are working.


The name="" element on your form will need to be removed, name is no longer assigned to form elements in xhtml.


formcat is great! hopefully my donation helps.

FormCat does not work on IIS systems out of the box.


Update your class:
Code:

   function addExtraFunc($funcName){

         if($funcName!=''&& $funcName!='form' && $funcName!='FORM' && $funcName!='Form'){
            if(is_array($this->extraFuncList)){
            if(!in_array($funcName,$this->extraFuncList)){
               $this->extraFuncList = array_merge($this->extraFuncList,array($funcName));
            }
         } else $this->extraFuncList =array($funcName);
         }
   }

PostPosted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:16 am    Post subject: bug into extra_function_submitOnce() Reply with quote

Joey,

I'm using formcat since months now without much problems. But since days I got an error msg from javascript saying
Quote:
type is nul or not an object
.
After hours of investigations :
Inside the function submitOnce(theform), there is a loop
Code:
 for (i = 0; i < theform.length; i++) {
theform.length will return the length of the form name which is just posted. In my case
Code:
<form name="frm_gproducers_edt" id="frm_gproducers_edt" action="gproducers.php" method="post">
Then the loop will simply run 18 times just because theform.length returns 18, which is ridiculous...Smile I only have 12 elements in my form. I din't get this error before just because usually the number of elements in my form is higher than the form name itself !! AMAZING !!

Then the proposed solution would be: formcat.class.php
Code:
   function extra_function_submitOnce(){
       //generate javascript
       $str="\n //Submit Once Function (author: Joey)\n
       function submitOnce(theform) {      
      
       if (document.all || document.getElementById) {
          
         // ----- Replaced by Vincent Megag on 13/09/2007 ------
         frm = eval(theform);
         var inputTags = frm.getElementsByTagName('input');
         for (i = 0; i < inputTags.length; i++) {
            var tempobj = inputTags[i];
         // -------------------------------------------------
         
            if (tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == 'submit' || tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == 'reset')
               tempobj.disabled = true;
         }
         setTimeout('alert(\"$this->defaultSubmitOnceMsg\")', 1500);
         return true;
         }
         else {
         alert('$this->defaultSubmitOnceMsg');
         return false;
           }
      }
      ";
      return $str;
   }



Vincent

Hope this solution helps people. Wink

Thanks to Marc-André...
