CalcBuilder Forum

Hi,
yes, the module includes the jquery validator, so you can extend the default validations adding any custom functions. In order to add a new validation 'this field must be greater than 'number1' field', this is the code you should add to the first javascript tab of the calculator 'executed on loaded page':


CB.validator.addMethod("cb_greaterthan", function(value, element, params) {
if (value=='') return false;
value=getNumber(value);
//Replace here 'number1' for your field name (currentage)

var valueinit=CB("input").val();

valueinit=getNumber(valueinit);
return value>valueinit;

//Replace here the message for the preferred one

}, CB.validator.format("Value must be greater than number1"));

CB.validator.addClassRules({
cb_greaterthan : { cb_greaterthan : true }
});



Just replace 'number1' for your field name (currentage). Now you can add this validation to the second field (retiring age), this is done at the 'field configuration'. Add

cb_greaterthan

to its 'Css class' field.

Hope this helps,

Hi i need that the number 1 in the message up there to be the variable data itself ??

Hi,

You could add variable to message changing message format and class rules like this:

CB.validator.addMethod("cb_greaterthan", function(value, element, params) {
if (value=='') return false;
value=getNumber(value);
//Replace here 'number1' for your field name (currentage)
var valueinit=CB("input").val();
valueinit=getNumber(valueinit);
return value>valueinit;
//Replace here the message for the preferred one
}, CB.validator.format("Value must be greater than {0}"));

CB.validator.addClassRules({
cb_greaterthan : { cb_greaterthan : function(){return CB("input").val();} }
});



Regards,

Thank You. But it doesn't display any messages at all.

Hi,

Did you replace 'number1' for your field name (currentage)?

Regards,

yes i did. It is named "deposit" in my case.

CB.validator.addMethod("cb_greaterthan", function(value, element, params) {
if (value=='') return false;
value=getNumber(value);
var valueinit=CB("input").val();
valueinit=getNumber(valueinit);
return value>=valueinit;
}, CB.validator.format("Value must be greater than {0}"));

CB.validator.addClassRules({
cb_greaterthan : { cb_greaterthan : function(){return CB("input").val();} }
});

Hi,

With this code and setting 'cb_greaterthan' class in the other field, should be work. Please export your calculator and place a private helpdesk ticket and we'll take a look.
