I have some code that works in ACF 4 that would fire validation via JS. It looked like the following:
acf.validation.run();
if (acf.validation.status){
//run custom code
}
Can anyone tell me how to modify this code for ACF Pro 5? When I attempt to run this, I receive an error saying that acf.validation.run is not a function.
Hoping there is a quick answer for this.
@acf-support I don’t seem to see any code there that triggers validation to be run.
Hi @ekazda
I’m sorry I thought you wanted to modify the errors.
ACF 5 uses a different method that ACF 4. You can trigger the validation by using this code:
acf.validation.fetch( $('form.acf-form') );
But I’m not sure if it is what you want.
I hope this helps.
Hello James,
In the admin I have created a new button next to publish button,
say MyCustom button,
on click on that button I wanted ACF validation to take place,
hence I have made a jQuery function
$(‘#MyCustom’).click(function(e){
acf.validation.fetch( $(‘#post’) );
});
It works like a charm when there is a validation missing,
But when there are no validation error in the form
then then it submits the form.
Note that my intension is not to submit the form and hence I created another button called MyCustom,
I want this because I want to perform some actions before submitting but after validation state.
