[Plugin: Event Registration] Required registration questions not validated

Can you post the form?

solidariti,
Not really – it’s private post on a live site.
Maybe if you could PM me I could set up a use for you to go have a look at it. Do you think you’d have time?

Thanks-
Rob

Hi,

I’m having the same problem. I have a couple of custom fields, one of which is required, but I can submit the form without any messages. I have dissected the form validation javascript in the plugin PHP, but I’ve had no luck. I am using the out of the box files without modifications. The class for the form field is correct (class=”r”), but the javascript does not seem to execute properly on form submit.

I am using WordPress 2.7.1 and viewing pages in Firefox 3.0.7. The issue also occurs in Safari 3.2.1

I really need this to work, it’s an RSVP form for my brother’s wedding site

Cheers,
Chris

My apologies on this. There is a bug with adding additional questions and validation that I have not yet been able to resolve. I am working on this and hope to have it resolved very soon.

Does anyone know if this is this resolved in the new version?

Any luck on this validation issue avdude?

I have a fix for this:

Looks like the backticks still mangled the patch. Try replacing the ampersands as appropriate….

I have posted a valid fix for the validation that works. It is at https://edgetechweb.com/registration-form-validation/

additionally I have written more detail instructions and provided better screen shots.
