Thanks Bruno and Anthony, that worked. For others who might need this, this
is my code:
def validate_my_form(form):
destination = form.vars.destination
log.error("call_channel='%s'" % (form.vars.call_channel))
if form.vars.call_channel == VOICEMAIL_CHANNEL:
_, err_msg = IS_EMAIL()(destination)
if err_msg: form.errors.destination = err_msg
elif form.vars.call_channel == PHONE_CHANNEL:
_, err_msg = IS_MATCH('\+[0-9]+', error_message=T('Enter a phone
number, in international format'))(destination)
if err_msg: form.errors.destination = err_msg
elif form.vars.call_channel == SIP_CHANNEL:
_, err_msg = IS_EMAIL(error_message=T('Enter a valid SIP address'))(
destination)
if err_msg: form.errors.destination = err_msg
else:
form.errors.call_channel = "call_channel=%s not supported" % (form.
vars.call_channel)
