RSForm Pro has an excellent set of default and custom validation rules.
But if a validation rule set against a field - it's not possible to add a submission until validation rule is performed.
Mainly it's a correct logic.
BUT ! Very often we meet a scenario when we need only an information notice to user, not a strict prohibition to submit a form.
For example, a validation rule "uniquefielduser" from
/components/com_rsform/helpers/validation.php
If we set this validation rule - user can't submit a RSform at all.
But we need just a notice - something like "such a value already exists in our database" - but ALLOW a user to submit a form anyway.
This is still the weak point of RSForm Pro.
So, two questions here
1) Could RSForm developer team add a feature "Notice only against a validation rule" to next release ?
2) Is it possible right now to customize the code from
/components/com_rsform/helpers/validation.php
to issue only notice ?
For example this one below :
public static function uniquefielduser($value, $extra=null,$data=null)
{
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$form = $app->input->get('form', array(), 'array');
$formId = isset($form['formId']) ? $form['formId'] : 0;
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$userField = $user->guest ? 's.UserIp' : 's.UserId';
$userValue = $user->guest ? $app->input->server->getString('REMOTE_ADDR') : $user->id;
$option = $app->input->getCmd('option');
$ctrl = $app->input->getCmd('controller');
$task = $app->input->getCmd('task');
$id = $app->input->getInt('id');
$query = $db->getQuery(true)
->select($db->qn('sv.SubmissionValueId'))
->from($db->qn('#__rsform_submission_values', 'sv'))
->join('left', $db->qn('#__rsform_submissions', 's').' ON ('.$db->qn('sv.SubmissionId').' = '.$db->qn('s.SubmissionId').')')
->where($db->qn('sv.FormId').'='.$db->q($formId))
->where($db->qn('sv.FieldName').'='.$db->q($data['NAME']))
->where($db->qn('sv.FieldValue').'='.$db->q($value));
// Is this a directory edit?
if ($id && $option == 'com_rsform' && $ctrl == 'directory' && ($task == 'save' || $task == 'apply')) {
$query->where($db->qn('s.SubmissionId').' != '.$db->q($id));
// Override the $userValue based on the submission original values
$newquery = $db->getQuery(true)
->select($db->qn('UserId'))
->select($db->qn('UserIp'))
->from($db->qn('#__rsform_submissions'))
->where($db->qn('SubmissionId').'='.$db->q($id));
$submission = $db->setQuery($newquery)->loadObject();
if ($submission->UserId) {
$userField = 's.UserId';
$userValue = $submission->UserId;
} else {
$userField = 's.UserIp';
$userValue = $submission->UserIp;
}
}
$query->where($db->qn($userField).'='.$db->q($userValue));
return $db->setQuery($query)->loadResult() ? false : true;
}
Waiting for a comment,
Thanks in advance for attention !
