Hi,
In my application I have a form with (among other data), the following two
fields:
- channel: a set with three possible values: "voicemail", "sipaddress"
or "phone".
- destination: a string, the meaningf of which depends on the value of
channel.
I have the problem that I attach a validation rule ("require") to the
destination field, because the validation rule depends on the value of
"channel"
What I would like to do is to leave the validation rule of the destination
empty, and then do a manual validation, depending on the value of "channel".
The rest of the fields would be validated as usual, with form.process(),
but the destination would be validated manually.
Something like this:
if form.process().accepted:
if request.var.channel == 'voicemail': validate requests.var.destination
as a mail address.
elif request.var.channel == 'sipaddress' validate requests.var.destination
as a sip address.
elfi request.var.channel == 'phone' validate requests.var.destination asa
telephone number
I have two questions:
- has web2py suppot for validation of telephone numbers and sip
addresses?
- how can I manually apply validation rules, so that I can apply complex
algorithms as the one described while validating?
Thanks
Daniel
