How to disable the validation of some fields in Joomla 3 registration - validation

I'm building the website based on Joomla 3. I need to disable the validation of the fields: name, username, password1 (the second, because the first is password2) and email2 and use email1 as username (I installed the plugin Email for user authorization).
I have tried to remove these fields in file components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml but the validation is still remaining. If I don't remove them but only change the rows required="true" to false for these fields the registration doesn't work at all and any user stored in the DB. How can I disable these fields?

It's not an easy workaround, and you will need some basic knowledge of Joomla and PHP, but I'll try to explain it to you as simple as i can.
>>> Creating view template override
First of all you will need to create your Registration view template override (to keep it Joomla update proof). To do so, create folder /templates/YOUT_TEMPLATE/html/com_users/registration and copy /components/com_users/views/registration/tmpl/default.php file there.
From now on you can modify registration output in your template folder.
>>> Modifying registration form output
By default Joomla takes all fields from form file /components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml, where they are defined, and outputs them in a view. But if we don't want to use ALL the fields, we need to output fields manually.
My example code only output E-mail and Password fields for registration. Here's a sample code to do so: (default.php file)
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
JHtml::_('behavior.keepalive');
?>
<div class="grid_8" id="register_block">
<div class="content_block">
<h1>Registracija</h1>
<div class="login<?php echo $this->pageclass_sfx?>">
<form id="member-registration" action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&task=registration2.register'); ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div>
<div class="login-fields">
<label id="jform_email1-lbl" for="jform_email1">E-mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="jform[email1]" id="jform_email1" value="" size="30">
</div>
<div class="login-fields">
<label id="jform_password1-lbl" for="jform_password1">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="jform[password1]" id="jform_password1" value="" autocomplete="off" size="30">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="button"><?php echo JText::_('JREGISTER');?></button>
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="registration2.register" />
<?php echo JHtml::_('form.token');?>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Please note, that I've also replaced task value from registration.register to registration2.register, I did this to bypass some of validation rules using my own controller.
>>> Creating controller override
Locate file /components/com_users/controllers/registration.php and create a copy of it called registration2.php in same folder.
Open file registration2.php and change It's class name from UsersControllerRegistration to UsersControllerRegistration2
From now on Joomla registration form will use this class to create a new user.
Find a method called register and find this line:
$requestData = JRequest::getVar('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');
This is where Joomla get's registration form data. Add the following lines:
$requestData['name'] = $requestData['email1'];
$requestData['username'] = $requestData['email1'];
$requestData['email2'] = $requestData['email1'];
$requestData['password2'] = $requestData['password1'];
It will add missing registration info, and help you pass validation.
NOTE: This is a sample code, to show the main logic. If anyone has a better solution, I'd be more than happy to hear it.

Following same idea, a simpler solution might be just including hidden inputs with values in com_users\views\registration\tmpl\default.php above
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary validate"><?php echo JText::_('JREGISTER');?></button>
add
<input type="hidden" id="jform[username]" name="jform[username]" value="username" />
<input type="hidden" id="jform_name" name="jform[name]" value="name" />
It would pass the validation and you would no longer need to override controllers etc.

Thymeleaf set default value [duplicate]

I am programming in Spring and using Thymeleaf as my view, and am trying to create a form where users can update their profile. I have a profile page which lists the user's information (first name, last name, address, etc), and there is a link which says "edit profile". When that link is clicked it takes them to a form where they can edit their profile. The form consists of text fields that they can input, just like your standard registration form.
Everything works fine, but my question is, when that link is clicked, how do I add the user's information to the input fields so that it is already present, and that they only modify what they want to change instead of having to re-enter all the fields.
This should behave just like a standard "edit profile" page.
Here is a segment of my edit_profile.html page:
First Name:
Here is the view controller method that returns edit_profile.html page:
#RequestMapping(value = "/edit", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getEditProfilePage(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("currentUser", currentUser);
System.out.println("current user firstname: " + currentUser.getFirstname());
model.addAttribute("user", new User());
return "edit_profile";
}
currentUser.getFirstname() prints out the expected value, but I'm getting blank input values in the form.
Thanks.
Solved the problem by removing th:field altogether and instead using th:value to store the default value, and html name and id for the model's field. So name and id is acting like th:field.
I'm slightly confused, you're adding currentUser and a new'd user object to the model map.
But, if currentUser is the target object, you'd just do:
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="James" th:value="${currentUser.firstname}" />
From the documentation:
http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/2.1/usingthymeleaf.html
I did not have a form with input elements but only a button that should call a specific Spring Controller method and submit an ID of an animal in a list (so I had a list of anmials already showing on my page). I struggled some time to figure out how to submit this id in the form. Here is my solution:
So I started having a form with just one input field (that I would change to a hidden field in the end). In this case of course the id would be empty after submitting the form.
<form action="#" th:action="#{/greeting}" th:object="${animal}" method="post">
<p>Id: <input type="text" th:field="*{id}" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </p>
</form>
The following did not throw an error but neither did it submit the animalIAlreadyShownOnPage's ID.
<form action="#" th:action="#{/greeting}" th:object="${animal}" method="post">
<p>Id: <input type="text" th:value="${animalIAlreadyShownOnPage.id}" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </p>
</form>
In another post user's recommended the "th:attr" attribute, but it didn't work either.
This finally worked - I simply added the name element ("id" is a String attribute in the Animal POJO).
<form action="#" th:action="#{/greeting}" th:object="${animal}" method="post">
<p>Id: <input type="text" th:value="${animalIAlreadyShownOnPage.id}" name="id" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </p>
</form>

Form validation on radio buttons Codeigniter

I am trying to add validation for radio buttons on a html form in Codeigniter. The form is prepopulated with data from a database, including a list of uploaded documents (this field may be empty if the item has no associated docs). The user can upload a new document, adding it to the existing docs or adding a new doc deleting the current ones.
So I have a text field containing the org doc names and a file upload field for new:
<label for="orgdocs">Documents</label>
<input type="text" id="orgdocs" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $fetched_row['pdocs']; ?>" />
<input type="file" id="newdocs" name="newdocs[]" multiple="multiple" />
and radio buttons: (ignore the bad attempt at Spanish names)
<label for="mas"><b>Añada mas</b></label>
<input type="radio" name="docsacion" style="margin-right: 0" <?php if (isset($docsacion) && $docsacion=="mas") echo "checked";?> value="mas" title="Add another document to existing docs"><br />
<label for="otra"><b>Borrar y añada otra</b></label>
<input type="radio" name="docsacion" style="margin-right: 0" <?php if (isset($docsacion) && $docsacion=="otra") echo "checked";?> value="otra" title="Remove all current docs and add new">
I just want to add validation. IF a new document has been selected(newdocs is not empty), dosacion is required.
I have tried:
if(isset($_FILES['newdocs']['name']) && (!empty($_FILES['newdocs']['name'])))
{$this->form_validation->set_rules('docascion','Documentation upload', 'required');}
but this gives the error even if the newdocs field is empty and I´ve no idea why!?
Try this
if(!empty($_FILES['newdocs']['name'])){
$this->form_validation->set_rules('docascion','Documentation upload', 'required');
}

Form Mobile Validation - after other functions have run

I need some help with the following issue. I am pretty new to JavaScript so this one is pretty tough for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We have a form for registration that is already in use and I need to make some amends to it to enhance its usability. The form itself already contains several validation scripts and I need to add in a new one - an error message to appear next to the mobile field. I am unable to amend the form HTML itself so I have to do everything by javascript – I need to bind the new function to the submit button so that it fires AFTER all the other validations (field highlight, pop ups), but before the page turns over.
Here is the form (I have just left in the feild i need to amend) :
<form method="post" action="#" id="register_form" class="validate">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="unregistered" value="false" />
<fieldset>
<legend>I am a new online customer</legend>
<div class="element">
<label for="mobile_number">Mobile:**</label>
<input name="mobileNumber" type="text" id="mobile_number" title="Please enter at least one number" class="text validate {validate:{minLength:10, eitherOr:'#telephone_number', messages:{minLength:'Please enter a valid phone number (at least #NUM digits long)', eitherOr:'Please enter either your Telephone or Mobile number'}}}" />
</div>
<div class="element continue_shopping_cont submit">
<button type="submit" class="submit button small_button"><span>Register</span></button>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="secure_from" value="" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Could someone help show me how i am supposed to do this and how is best to target this field?

joomla module development with form - how to process

I'm creating a simple Joomla 2.5 module that will have an html form.
mod_mymodule/tmpl/default.php:
<form method="post" id="myemailform" action="">
<label for="ReferralName">Enter Name:</label><input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo modCamcloudReferralHelper::getReferralName(); ?>">
<label for="ReferralEmail">Enter Email Address:</label><input type="text" name="email">
<label for="ReferralMessage">Enter Message (optional):</label><textarea class="message"></textarea>
<span class="countdown"></span>
<button type="submit" value="Send Email">Send Email</button>
<?php echo JHtml::_('form.token'); ?>
</form>
I have a helper class at:
mod_mymodule/helper.php - this just has some utility functions in it.
My question is what is the usual convention here to process my form on the server side. I tried to find examples of what people have done but I can't seem to find anything. Do I just put everything in the helper class:
<form method="post" id="myemailform" action="..\helper.php">
Or something like that? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you should do form processing in module helper class. Keep any logic out of the template file, and you can use mod_mymodule.php to call helper methods and assign variables before including the view file.
Do not set as form action helper file! I think in your case action should be the same page, so you can also ommit action url.
Edit: As requested in the comments, this would be the content of your mod_mymodule.php
// include helper file
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/helper.php';
// call some method of the helper class
$items = modMymoduleHelper::getItems();
$moduleclass_sfx = htmlspecialchars($params->get('moduleclass_sfx'));
// render view file from mod_mymodule/tmpl/default.php, $items is available in the view file
require JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_mymodule', $params->get('layout', 'default'));

How to pre populate my custom form in magento

I've created a custom form, similar to a customer registration form, in Magento.
i want to prepopulate this form when an error messages arises.
Does anyone know how I can prepopulate a custom form in Magento?
Without seeing you code it is hard to say which method will method will work, but one of these method should work.
Using JavaScript Validation - client side validate, only post if all require info is correct
<form name="my-form" id="my-form" method="post">
<label for="username">
< ?php echo $this->__("User name") ?> <span>*</span></label><br />
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" class="input-text required-entry"/>
.....
</form>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
//< ![CDATA[
var customForm = new VarienForm('my-form');
//]]>
</script>
See a list of all the validation class name
Repopulate field
To get a list of all the post variable information that the customer fill out
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost();
To get a form field (eg. <input type='text' name='firstname' ... />)
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost('firstname');
So in you .phtml try (this will not work if you doing a redirect on error)
<input type='text' name='firstname' value="<?php echo Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost('firstname');?>" />
If the above doesnt work then you need the save the post info into a session.
In your controller if validation fail save the information to customer session
Mage::getSingleton( 'customer/session' )->setData( 'yourFormName', Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost() );
In your phtml template, print the data if 'yourFormName' variable session exist.
