The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Tim,

The thing is : the templates are evaluated before the user starts filling the form.

I would rather use _javascript_ to validate the form on the client side before submitting it. I'm far from being a _javascript_ ace, so I won't give you code samples, but all you have to do is modifying header.tt2 to either put your _javascript_ code or include a _javascript_ fil that you could put ni static_content.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

David

So, is there no one doing this? Do the developers have any suggestions? I would rather not start modifying the Sympa code to hack this in and then have to monitor and fix it as upgrades clobber my changes.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

Subject: [External] [en@sympa] Evaluating input in form fields

Hi. Has anyone customized Sympa to perform any form field input validations? In our case, we would like to ensure that any created lists include a “-L” (i.e., dash el) in their names. The code is in create_list_request.tt2 and I have been reviewing the template directives [1] in an attempt to find a solution. Perhaps a FILTER would work? Or a PERL block?

 

Here is the code from create_list_request.tt2:

 

<input type="text" id="listname" name="listname" size="30" value="[% saved.listname %]" />

                <!-- CODE CHECK FOR DASH EL IN LIST NAME -->

                [% IF saved.listname !~ '<chars>-L$' %]

                   [% SET saved.listname = ${saved-listname} _ '-l' %]

                [% END %]
