Magic file validation, but only for certain groups

Hi AppGini'rs
Another wee question, please... I have created form validation files, using the guidelines suggested in Udemy course, in essence
- creating magic files to do the input checks that calls
- an error function in the hooks footer file
It works nicely, but I want to side step the checks if I am logged in as the admin - is this possible (but only by using the hooks facility)
TIA, James

Hi, did you do your validation via the javascript magic files?
I think you could do it directly via the hook function (footer)to add the javascript only for certain groups.

Hi Pböttcher
Yes, I used javascript in magic files for validation, and placed the actual function in the footer. I'm unsure I follow your suggestion, though - could you share a sample code suggestion, that includes an alert, please?
TIA, James

Hi,

can you share a part of your script used in the .js file for generating the alert.

(1) Table is u02_person (the following is heavily based on Udemy tutorials, and works well)

(2) In hooks/u02_person-dv.js

Code: Select all

$j(function(){
	$j('#update, #insert').click(function(){
		var regLetters = /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/;
		var regNumbers = /^[0-9\s]+$/;
		var regAlphaNum = /^[a-zA-Z0-9 _.,!"\/']+$/;
		var regEmail = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
		var regURL = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&\/\/=]*)$/;
	
		var forename = $j('#forename').val();
		var surname = $j('#surname').val();
		var mobile = $j('#mobile').val();
		var email = $j('#email').val();
		
		if(forename.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(forename)){
			return show_error('forename', 'There is an error in the "Forename" field.');
		}
		if(surname.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(surname)){
			return show_error('surname', 'There is an error in the "Surname" field.');
		}
		if(mobile.length < 11 || !regNumbers.test(mobile)){
			return show_error('mobile', 'There is an error in the "Mobile" field, format should be "07* **** ****".');
		}
		if(email.length < 7 || !regEmail.test(email)){
			return show_error('email', 'There is an error in the "Email" field, format should be [email protected]');
		}
	});
})
(3) At end of hooks/footer-extra.php, just after php close tag

Code: Select all

<script>
	function show_error(field, message){
		modal_window({
			message: '<div class="alert alert-danger">' + message + '</div>',
			title: 'Error',
			close: function(){
				$j('#' + field).focus();
				$j('#' + field).parents('.form-group').addClass('has-error'); 
			}
		});
		return false;
	}	
</script>

Hi,

thanks for providing the code.

You could add the code that you have in the u02_person-dv.js in the hooks/u02_person.php u02_person_dv function.

Code: Select all

function u02_person_dv($selectedID, $memberInfo, &$html, &$args){
	if(isset($_REQUEST['dvprint_x'])) return;		
	ob_start(); ?>
	<script>
		$j(function(){
		$j('#update, #insert').click(function(){
		var regLetters = /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/;
		var regNumbers = /^[0-9\s]+$/;
		var regAlphaNum = /^[a-zA-Z0-9 _.,!"\/']+$/;
		var regEmail = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
		var regURL = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&\/\/=]*)$/;
	
		var forename = $j('#forename').val();
		var surname = $j('#surname').val();
		var mobile = $j('#mobile').val();
		var email = $j('#email).val();
		
		if(forename.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(forename)){
			return show_error('forename', 'There is an error in the "Forename" field.');
		}
		if(surname.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(surname)){
			return show_error('surname', 'There is an error in the "Surname" field.');
		}
		if(mobile.length < 11 || !regNumbers.test(mobile)){
			return show_error('mobile', 'There is an error in the "Mobile" field, format should be "07* **** ****".');
		}
		if(email.length < 7 || !regEmail.test(email)){
			return show_error('email', 'There is an error in the "Email" field, format should be [email protected]');
		}
	});
})		

	</script>
		
<?php
		
	$new_layout = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
		
	$html .= $new_layout;
}
This way you can add a check to use the $memberInfo array to check if the user belongs to admin group and do your needed action accordingly.

Thanks Pböttcher, that is a nice straightforward solution. Very best, James

Thanks Pböttcher, this worked great - a little code feedback, to show how I differentiated between groups using PHP mixed with JS within the hook/function you directed me to.

Code: Select all

						$j(function(){
							$j('#update, #insert').click(function(){
								var regLetters = /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/;
								var regNumbers = /^[0-9\s]+$/;
								var regAlphaNum = /^[a-zA-Z0-9 _.,!"\/']+$/;
								var regEmail = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
								var regURL = /^https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&\/\/=]*)$/;
	
								var forename = $j('#forename').val();
								var surname = $j('#surname').val();
								<?php if($memberInfo[groupID] == 3){ ?> 
									var quantityMax = $j('#quantityMax').val();
								<?php } ?>
								var terms =  document.getElementById("terms").checked;
	
								if(forename.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(forename)){
									return show_error('forename', 'There is an error in the "Forename" field.');
								}
								if(surname.length < 2 || !regLetters.test(surname)){
									return show_error('surname', 'There is an error in the "Surname" field.');
								}
												
								<?php if($memberInfo[groupID] == 3){ ?> 
									if(isNaN(quantityMax) || quantityMax < 0 || quantityMax > 2000){
										return show_error('quantityMax', 'Capacity', 'There is an error in the "Capacity" field &ndash; enter the capacity in litres. If you are unsure, estimate it at about 500 and you can update it later.');
									}
									if(note4Driver.length < 7 || !regAlphaNum.test(note4Driver)){
										return show_error('note4Driver', 'There is an error in the "Note for Driver" field &ndash; if you do not need to leave a note, enter "No note". Enter letters and digits only, with simple punctuation.');
									}
								<?php } ?>
								
								if(terms === false){
									return show_error('terms', 'You cannot proceed until you "accept our terms of service".');
								}
							});
						})
