Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-6690:
----------------------------------------
Okay, so on another search in the entire framework I see the following:
||item||count in code||
|required-field="true"|62|
|widget-style="required"|140|
so this means most of the required fields are enforced with the widget-style
format instead of the required-field format. I can also see something like the
below code snippet which I think only happens in the required-field, not the
styled one.
So the question I have now is why do we have two ways of showing a field as
required, and shouldn't we remove one of the two completely from the code base
for consistency's sake? What do you think?
{code}
<#macro renderFormClose focusFieldName formName containerId hasRequiredField>
</form><#lt/>
<#if focusFieldName?has_content>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var form = document.${formName};
form.${focusFieldName}.focus();
<#-- enable the validation plugin for all generated forms
only enable the validation if min one field is marked as 'required' -->
if (jQuery(form).find(".required").size() > 0) {
jQuery(form).validate();
}
</script><#lt/>
</#if>
<#if containerId?has_content && hasRequiredField?has_content>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("#${containerId}").validate({
submitHandler:
function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
</script>
</#if>
</#macro>
{code}
> replace widget-style="required" with required-field="true"

> Currently many fields have 'widget-style="required" to indicate that input
> for the field is required. Better is it to have 'required-field="true". This
> not only opens up the possibility to define additional validation rules, but
> the rendered also incorporates the aspects associated with
> 'widget-style="required".
