Do validations only allow true or false
#1
I was asked to do a validation where the salesorder shipping address needs to match the account shipping address. Now that's easy enough, but I was also asked to provide the option to overwrite the currect salesorder address with the address from the account when there is no match. Do we have some option to fire a custom function when a validation fails or is it just true of false? And if it is, would it be a good idea to allow custom 'ontrue' and 'onfalse' handlers? I could work on that.

I had a quick look which escalated into a little over half an hour to implement this change

https://github.com/tsolucio/corebos/commit/4b942d0b3686b8f20e9d2567bb5251dd653bcbe0

that permits us to use the same functionality we have in the custom file validations, where you can return CONFIRM and FUNCTION


Code:
<map>

  <originmodule>
    <originname>Accounts</originname>
  </originmodule>
  <fields>
    <field>
      <fieldname>accountname</fieldname>
      <validations>
        <validation>
          <rule>contains</rule>
          <restrictions>
          <restriction>mex</restriction>
          </restrictions>
<message>%%%FUNCTION%%%yourfunction%%%PARAMS%%%{field},lbl</message>
        </validation>
      </validations>
    </field>
  </fields>
</map>

your custom function has to have this profile:

(edit_type, formName, action, callback, params)

I see that FUNCTION is not documented here:

it should be

About the class code example in the blog, you left the line
PHP Code:
$smarty $this->getViewer(); 
in there.

I think that is intentional to show readers that they have access to that object without creating it again (less memory and setup overhead)

Ah, thought it didn't live on the parent but that's where it comes from then

Can't get this to work. I've tried logging my 'process' function to the fatal log, but it never seems to be called. Neither does it cause an error. I created the business action for the developerblock but it doesn't seem to do anything.

you just need to create a JS function and return the message in the indicated format

I'm not sure I understood the instructions correctly then. Judging by the blogpost I thought I didn't have to create a map. I thought a developerblock of type 'presave' would just do the work, returning the name of the JS function to be executed along with parameters.
