How display validation alerts with the custom submission button

[Chunyu]

Hello,

We have the following code in the form body.

<xh:td>                               
                                <xf:trigger id="complete-appraisal-confirm-control" bind="complete-appraisal-confirm-bind">                                   
                                    <xf:label ref="$form-resources/complete-appraisal-confirm/label"/>                                   
                                    <xf:hint ref="$form-resources/complete-appraisal-confirm/hint"/>                                   
                                    <xf:alert ref="$fr-resources/detail/labels/alert"/>                                   
                                    <xf:action ev:event="DOMActivate">                                       
                                        <xf:setvalue bind="status-bind" value="'sent for review'"/>                                       
                                        <xf:setvalue bind="show-complete-section-bind" value="'false'"/>                                       
                                        <xf:send submission="create-instance"/>                                   
                                    </xf:action>
                                </xf:trigger>                           
                            </xh:td>

And the relevant submission event in the head of the form.

  <xf:submission id="create-instance" method="put" instance="fr-form-instance"
                           replace="instance"
                           serialization="application/xml"
                           validate="true"
                           relevant="true"
                           resource="http://localhost:8040/orbeonapi/crud/erdf/appraisal/data/{xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document}/data.xml">               
                <xf:header combine="replace">                   
                    <xf:name>Accept</xf:name>                   
                    <xf:value>application/xml</xf:value>               
                </xf:header>               
                <xf:action ev:event="xforms-submit-error">                   
                    <xf:message level="modal">                       
                        <xf:output value="'There are validation errors. Please check your selections and entries, and retry once all fields have been filled out.'"/>                   
                    </xf:message>               
                </xf:action>               
                <xf:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done">                  
                    <xf:setvalue ref="xxf:instance('fr-persistence-instance')/data-safe-override">true</xf:setvalue>
                    <xf:send submission="wf-submit-appraisal"/>
                    <xf:load resource="/esif-web/appraisal/{instance('fr-form-instance')//*:status}/for/{xxf:instance('fr-form-instance')/*:uids/*:application/string()}"/>
                    <!--<xf:load resource="/esif-web/applications/dashboard"/>--> 
                </xf:action>           
            </xf:submission> 

We could have a validation error as a pop up message, but we would like to have the red validation alerts to be displayed as well.

How can we display the validation errors as the red alerts at the bottom of screen which is like the default save or submit button from Orbeon form builder and runner?

Could you please advise?

Thanks,

Chunyu

Hi Chunyu,

I think that you're looking for the visit-all action, which will result in marking all controls "visited", so their related error shows, in case there is one:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner-~-Buttons-and-Processes#other-actions

To run this action, you'd have to create a process that runs it (defined it in your properties, more info about this in the page linked above), and run it with process:runProcessByName() as done by process-button.xbl:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources-packaged/xbl/orbeon/process-button/process-button.xbl

Hi Alex,

We will try whether we could get it working according to you suggestions.
