hi there,

My users can decide if they want receive money via paypal or banktransfer. There is a dropdownfield where users can choose
between this 2 options. Only if a user choose paypal I want to check if there is a paypal emailadresse and if it's correct (syntax).
And I only want to check if users filled out their bank data if they choosed banktransfer as payment type.

So I subclassed TextField because I need a custom validation. But in my custom validation I also need the value(s) from other form fields, as described above.

In this schema ...

class PaypalEmailField extends TextField {
function validate($validator) {
...
}
}

... I only have access to 1 formfield.

How to make all form fields accessable in the validator function?

To add the validation I use "new RequiredFields" ... but some fields are only required if other fields have special values

anybody dealed with this problematic yet?

thx

I'd deal with this within the form action function before doing a redirect (or whatever action), or if in the CMS I'd use a custom validator for the data object being saved.
