If you create a edit.cfm file in the webskin folder for a content type, that will become the handler for editing records of that type. So rather than use the built-in edit handler, you can specify your own.
I believe, but I am not positive, that I remember someone mentioning a bug in FarCry that prevents the server side validation from executing. You could remedy this by writing your own edit handler and forcing it to execute the server side validation. For an example of a custom edit handler you can check out /core/ webskin/dmInclude/edit.cfm or /core/webskin/dmNavigation/edit.cfm or / core/webskin/dmProfile/edit.cfm Sean On Aug 16, 9:59 am, Ron Mast <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sean, > > I understood everything but "I think there may be a bug in FarCry that > prevents the > <ft:serverSideValidation /> tag from firing.
