How to define custom attributes while appending a js file in Zend Framewok?

Question by mrN

I am trying to implement content flow in my zf application. And while loading its attributes, it requires one extra attribute to be defined.

<script type="text/javascript" src=".." load="white"></script>

To interprete this using zf, i tried

$this -> headScript() -> appendFile("my/path/to/contentflow.js","text/javascript", array("load" => "white")); 

But its not working.

How to do this?

Zend Framework does not allow such random attributes. If you really have to use them, you have to enable them using

$this -> headScript() -> setAllowArbitraryAttributes(true);

How to conditionally execute a jquery validation?

Question by Chendur Pandian

I am validating form using jquery validation plugin……

 rules: {
    Name: "required",
    MobileNo: {
           required: true,
           minlength: 10, remote: '<%=Url.Action("getClientMobNo", "Clients") %>'
               },
    Address: "required"
            },
    messages: {
        Name: "please provide a client name",
        MobileNo: {
        required: "Please provide a mobile phone no",
        rangelength: jQuery.format("Enter at least {0} characters"),
        remote: jQuery.format("This MobileNo is already in use")
      },
      Address: "please provide client address"
   },

This works pretty well on add form validation but i use the same form for edit here they can use the same mobile no,but my plugin validates that mobileno saying there is already a mobileno… But how to execute remote attribute based on a condition,

   MobileNo: {
           required: true,
           minlength: 10,
          if($("#HfId").val() == ""){ 
            remote: '<%=Url.Action("getClientMobNo", "Clients") %>'
             }
          },

Is this a valid jquery conditional validation statement…. How to skip remote attribute based on a condition….

Answer by Starx

Well, I would do something like this

for example my php page is member.php

to add, send a URL like this member.php?action=add

<? 
$action = $_GET['action'];
?>
<script>
        $("#frmmember").validate({
      rules: { 
        name: { 
                <? if($action=='add') { ?>
                      required: true, 
               <? } ?>
                      rangelength: [4, 50] },
        email: { required: true, rangelength: [5, 50], email: true },
        phone: { required: true, number:true, rangelength: [7, 10] }
        },
      onkeyup: false
    });
</script>

In this case, the validation rule required=true is only going to apply if there is “add” in the url variable "action"
