1: Need help with required fields on a form

Posted by Kung Fu Panda on 06/13/08 01:40 AM

OpenACS ad_form assumes every field on the form as required if i am not wrong. Is there a way to modify the default "required fields" property? I mean i don't want to see any errors saying "field is required" even if some fields of my choice are empty when the form is submitted. How can I do that?

Thanks.

You can define the elements as optional doing it like this:

{names:text(text),optional { value "my name" }}

note the ",optional".

Easy question, but... how is it possible for Victor to reply on 06/12/08 05:59 PM, 8 hours before Kung Fu Panda original message?
