Re: [Semediawiki-user] [SF] "mandatory" parameter does not work in Semantic Forms...

[Antonio O. <an...@li...>]

Looking into the generated html, I see that probably I'm dealing with a  
Semantic Forms bug:


{{{field|Location|input  
type=googlemaps|width=780|height=540|centre=40.89282261530705,16.644287109375|zoom=8|autozoom=off|mandatory}}}

{{{field|Accuracy|mandatory}}}

Semantic Forms renders (excerpt of relevant parts):
- - - ---------------------------------------------- - - -
...

function validate_all() {
var num_errors = 0;
if (! validate_mandatory_field('input_3', 'info_3')) num_errors += 1;
if (! validate_mandatory_field('input_4', 'info_4')) num_errors += 1;
if (num_errors > 0) {
...
}

...

<script...
<input id='map_google_coords_1_3' name='Architettura[Location]'  
type='text' value='' size='40' tabindex='3'>
<span id='map_google_info_1_3' class='error_message'></span>
<p>
<input id="map_google_geocode_1_3" size="30" name="geocode"...
<input type='submit' onClick="showGAddress...
</p>
<div id='map_google_1_3' class=''></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>/*<![CDATA[*/
...
/*]]>*/</script>

...

<select id="input_4" tabindex="5" name="Test[Accuracy]"  
class="mandatoryField" >
<option value=""></option>
...
</select>
<span id="info_4" class="errorMessage"></span>
- - - ---------------------------------------------- - - -


I'm using Semantic Forms 1.8.8, and Semantic Maps 0.5.1, on MediaWiki 1.16.
How can I fix this and have both Location and Accuracy fields mandatory in  
my form?
