multi-conditionals

[Mark Kiel]

First... Love ValidateThis... excellent product and exactly what I needed for this project.

I am trying to validate that an  end date is required only if a start date has been entered. 

<property name="BenefitClassEndDate" desc="Benefit Class End Date">

<rule type="required">

<param name="DependentPropertyName" value="BenefitClassStartDate" />

</rule>

<rule type="Regex" failureMessage="Dates should use the correct format (M/D/YYYY)">

<param name="regex" value="[0-9]?[0-9]/[0-9]?[0-9]/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]" />

</rule>

<rule type="noHTML" />

</property>

Now I need to also make sure the end date is AFTER the start date. I wrote the conditional,

<condition name="BenefitClassDateCheck"

serverTest="DateCompare( BenefitClassStartDate, BenefitClassEndDate, 'd' ) eq -1"

clientTest="(new Date($('[name=BenefitClassStartDate]').getValue()) - new Date($('[name=BenefitClassEndDate]').getValue())) >0;" />

I'm just not sure how to implement it...

Hi Mark,

When I need custom validation I just create new Validators. Have a read of this:

http://www.validatethis.org/docs/wiki/Creating_New_Validation_Types/HTML.cfm

Then have a look at this for a server side validator:

https://github.com/ValidateThis/ValidateThis/blob/develop/ValidateThis/server/ServerRuleValidator_FutureDate.cfc 

and here is the client side one:

https://github.com/ValidateThis/ValidateThis/blob/develop/ValidateThis/client/jQuery/ClientRuleScripter_FutureDate.cfc

Good luck!

Thats a great help. Seems pretty basic to add validation like I need. 

How do I write the property so that it passes the both the dates (date_a, and date_b). I can write the compare statement very easily, just not sure how to pass in both variables.

Success... 

<cfscript>

var otherPropertyName = arguments.validation.getParameterValue("ComparePropertyName");

var otherVal = arguments.validation.getObjectValue(otherPropertyName);

var args = [arguments.validation.getPropertyDesc(),otherVal];

var msgKey = "defaultMessage_compare2dates";

</cfscript>

        

<cfif dateCompare( arguments.validation.getObjectValue(), otherVal ) lte 0 >

<cfset fail(arguments.validation,variables.messageHelper.getGeneratedFailureMessage(msgKey,args,arguments.locale)) />

</cfif>

<rule type="compare2dates" failureMessage="New Hire Begin Date must be before New Hire End Date.">

<param name="ComparePropertyName" value="NewHireBegin" />

</rule>

Oops, that was supposed to be "glad".
