Hello! In one of forms made in Fabrik v2.0 b3 I'm using drop down element with several options to chose. I wish

this element to be required and have first/default element something like "Please chose something" and disallow

to chose it. I want user to chose anything else except this first option, because it is only like a label saying "when

you click here you'll see more option and you need to chose something". How can I do a validation plugin for

such element? I was testing with adding lable to the first/default element "blad" (which means "error" in polish

) and validation plugin with function:

function validate( $wybor, &$element, $c )

{

if ( $wybor == 'blad') return false;

else return true;}

But it doesn't show any error message if the first option from drop down will be selected. How can I solve this

issue (it don't need to be done with validation plugin, maby there is some better way to disallow selecting

first/default element form drop down).

Best regards

I did this by using the validation by regular expression.

Then I used a regular expression that matched everything except the value of the default element.

For example: the values you you can choose go from monday to sunday

1. You add the "Select a day" option and name the corresponding value "default_selection" and set it as default.

2. Add a regular expression match that looks like this /^[^d]/ (matches any string that doesn't start with a 'd'.

3. Set you error desired error message and shazzam... it's working! =)

required and have first/default element something like "Please chose something" and disallow to chose it.

Actually, there is a new validation plugin called isnot which is utilized for something like your asking, they can

pick anything in the list except what is set...such as please select...
