SafeCracker hooks
Development and Programming
I’m trying to make an extension that will do something after the user has submitted a safecracker form. I’ve created a hook on the safecracker_submit_entry_end and it triggers when the form is submitted, whether it has passed inline validation or not. How do I find out if the form has passed validation in my code? The documentation at http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/safecracker/development.html doesn’t mention this at all.
Here is the safecracker code:
{exp:safecracker channel="profile" return="/thank-you" id="publishform" include_jquery="no" author_only="no" error_handling="inline" .... }
Hi cfenwick,
As I understand, you are developing an extension that listens for the safecracker_submit_entry_end hook, is that correct?
I would expect that the form would have passed validation if the hook is called, since validation happen inline with the SafeCracker form.
However, we don’t offer support for add-on development, we just aren’t set up to do so. To get you to the right audience, I’m going to move this into Development and Programming.
Cheers!
The hook on safecracker_submit_entry_end will trigger if entries data has been saved passing the validation (inline).
That’s the problem I’m having, safecracker_submit_entry_end is triggering whether it has passed validation or not.
are you setting the validation rule into safecracker tag
{exp:safecracker channel="profile" return="/thank-you" id="publishform" include_jquery="no" author_only="no" error_handling="inline" .... }like
rules:my_field_name="required|min_length[5]"try it, it may validation the inputs before triggering safecracker_submit_entry_end.
Yes, I’ve got them. here’s the full tag:
{exp:safecracker channel="profile" return="/thank-you"
id="publishform" include_jquery="no" author_only="no"
error_handling="inline"
rules:title="required|min_length[5]"
rules:gp_practice="required"
rules:gp_email="valid_email|required"
rules:gp_address="required"
rules:gp_city="required"
rules:gp_postcode="required"
rules:gp_latitude="required"
rules:gp_longitude="required"
}
You can see if validation passed by checking SC for any errors:
$validation_passed = empty($this->EE->safecracker->errors) && empty($this->EE->safecracker->field_errors);
if ( ! $validation_passed)
{
exit("YOU FAIL!");
}It worked! Thanks Rob.
