Keyword field of a content type with comma delimited string entry

[Ron Mast]

When editing a content type field (Keyword) type longchar. The entry
is comma delimited...but I want to avoid duplicate words making this
example an invalid entry: "farcry, is, awesome, farcry, rules".
Because farcry is used twice I would like to not allow this to save.

I wanted to ask the group before I start reading through the
documentation and writing code. Has anyone done this? Perhaps farcry
already can validate this?

Thank you for understanding my newbie status! :)

Hi
Do we have any developers on list that have built a Farcry Tourism Site?
Or know of an example Farcry site?
Needs to handle multiple events (calendars) uploaded by participating members.
Along the lines of: http://www.maitlandhuntervalley.com.au/

Hi Ron,
You could add a 'BeforeSave' function on the type and run some logic
over the field in question. Have a look at dmFile.cfc as a good
example of this.

Ron,

You can create a ftValidateKeyword method (assuming your field name is
"keyword") and FarCry will execute it.

Check out /core/packages/types/farUser.cfc you can see that they built
an ftValidateUserID method to validate the userID. Your method would
use the same areguments, returntype, etc.

OR

You can create your own formtool type, say "keywordList". You would
create a keywordlist.cfc in your /project/packages/formtools folder
then for your "keyword" field use a ftType="keywordlist". You can
look at any of the other formtool CFCs for examples of how to
construct your edit, display, validate and any other methods.

Shawn I'm trying the ftValidateKeywords method. Keywords is the field name.

Looking at the farUser.cfc example. I did a selected resources search
trying to find how the ftValidateUserID function is getting invoked so
I can get a better understanding. I didn't find anything.

I created the ftValidateKeywords in mysite/packages/types/course.cfc

I am at loss of how to now use my ftValidateKeywords function.

Thanks!

This is bizarre...I created ftValidateKeywords and making sure it
fails...yet when I save bSuccess=false is not recognized. I have the
same data structure as farUser.cfc when I dump arguments and cfabort.

Any clue to why? It's running the ftValidateKeywords because it's
dumping the arguments.

Thanks again!

You should be creating your returns struct using the "passed" and
"failed" methods like farUser:

<cfset stResult = createObject("component",
application.formtools["field"].packagePath).failed(value="#arguments.stFieldPost.value#",
message="The userid you have selected is already taken.") />

<cfset stResult = createObject("component",
application.formtools["field"].packagePath).passed(value=stFieldPost.Value) /
>

FarCry automatically invokes the ftValidate* methods for each field
(if they exist). FarCry is a conventions based framework. Its
magic :)

I think there may be a bug in FarCry that prevents the
<ft:serverSideValidation /> tag from firing. You may have to create
your own edit.cfm handler and manually add in a call to
<ft:serverSideValidation />. Hopefully someone from Daemon will chime
in a shed some light.

Hi Sean,

I understood everything but "I think there may be a bug in FarCry that

prevents the
<ft:serverSideValidation /> tag from firing. You may have to create
your own edit.cfm handler and manually add in a call to
<ft:serverSideValidation />. Hopefully someone from Daemon will chime
in a shed some light."

Can you explain this further...I'm trying to find an example and going
to scope out ft:serverSideValidation.

Again I am using .failed()

Thanks so much Sean!

If you create a edit.cfm file in the webskin folder for a content
type, that will become the handler for editing records of that type.
So rather than use the built-in edit handler, you can specify your
own.

I believe, but I am not positive, that I remember someone mentioning a
bug in FarCry that prevents the server side validation from
executing. You could remedy this by writing your own edit handler and
forcing it to execute the server side validation.

For an example of a custom edit handler you can check out /core/
webskin/dmInclude/edit.cfm or /core/webskin/dmNavigation/edit.cfm or /
core/webskin/dmProfile/edit.cfm
