Hmm that should work, what Contour version are you running?

Version 3.0

Ok I'll try to reproduce

hmm... now I've got the validation working, I can't submit the form at all - highlights the three text fields I have whic are mandatory, but once they are filled in, submit still won't do anything....

ignore that last post was an error on my part... the mandatory issue on cehck-boxes still exists though

Hi Tim

did you manage to reproduce the issue?

Thanks

Tom

Looking into it this afternoon, will report back here :)

Just checked and it works like expected... using latest contour

Are you using the razor or usercontrol macro to output your form?

im using razor to output a custom form /Umbraco/Plugins/umbracoContour/Views/Forms/c3b23066-dd2b-4bbc-905e-9baebd3f6ffc/Form.cshtml

@Umbraco.RenderMacro("umbracoContour.RazorRenderForm", new {FormGuid="c3b23066-dd2b-4bbc-905e-9baebd3f6ffc" })

Specifically the code for rendering the checkboxes (as I need them rendered under a specific area) is

<ul class="CheckContent">
                @foreach (FieldsetViewModel fs in Model.CurrentPage.Fieldsets)
                {
                        foreach (FieldViewModel f in fs.Fields)
                        {
                            if (f.FieldTypeName == "CheckBox")
                            { 
                                bool hidden = f.HasCondition && f.ConditionActionType == FieldConditionActionType.Show;
                                <li>
                                    <div class="@f.CssClass" @{if (hidden){<text> style="display: none"</text>}}>
                                         @Html.Partial(FieldViewResolver.GetFieldView(Model.FormId, f.FieldTypeName, f.Caption), f)
                                         @if(!f.HideLabel){<label for="@f.Id" class="fieldLabel">@f.Caption @if (f.ShowIndicator){<span class="contourIndicator">@Model.Indicator</span>}</label>}
                                        
                                        @if (Model.ShowFieldValidaton){@Html.ValidationMessage(f.Id)}
                                    </div>
                                </li>
                            }
                        }
                }
            </ul>

Ok maybe try restoring the original views for a sec to see if it works in that case

Ok I reverted and still had the same issue...

Does it also happen when you preview the form?

I've reverted back to my custom form, and the preview seems to work!

Ok might be that the server validation is failing (so a bug) do you have the js scripts on your frontend for the validation? jquery validate, jquery validate unobtrosive?

Ive got the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.8.1/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/mvc/3.0/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/mvc/3.0/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js"></script>

Yeah those should do it

Hi Tim, did you find time to work out what the issue was ?

Hey Tom,

Well I tested and both client and server side validation is working... and since it is working in preview mode in your case... any chance I can take a look at your site? You can mail details to tg at umbraco dot com

Cheers,
Tim
