Change alerts for required fields

2/02/2010 9:38 am | #1 John_GR

Hello, I need to change the alert messages at the spry fields into the Greek language. Like " please enter a valid phone number"... But although I change them in dreamweaver php pages manually, when the files are on air they display the messages in english. Are these alert messages stored in a separate file? And to which one?

Thank you.

there are three types of validation applied to the checkout page:
Spry validation
Validation Toolkit Client Side validation
Validation Toolkit Server Side validation

each validation type has it's own validation message.

lets take the address form elemetn as an example:

php:

<p>
              <label for="street1" >Address:</label>
            <span id="sprytextfield10">
                      <input name="street1" type="text" id="street1" onblur="if (document.getElementById('street1ServerValidation')) document.getElementById('street1ServerValidation').style.display='none';" value="<?php echo((isset($_GET['valid']))?(ValidatedField("confirm","street1")):$row_WAATKusers['UserAddress']); ?>" />
                      <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter the billing address for your card.</span></span>
                        <?php
if (ValidatedField("confirm","confirm"))  {
  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("confirm","confirm").","), "," . "16" . ",") !== false || "16" == ""))  {
    if (!(false))  {
?>
                      <span class="textfieldServerError" id="street1ServerValidation">
                          Please enter the billing address for your card.
                        </span>
                          <?php //WAFV_Conditional confirm.php confirm(16:)
    }
  }
}?>
          </p>

the spry message is in the textfieldRequiredMsg span tag:

<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">Please enter the billing address for your card.</span>

The server validation error message is in the textfieldServerError span tag:

<span class="textfieldServerError" id="street1ServerValidation">
                          Please enter the billing address for your card.
                        </span>

the address field does not include client side validation, but the cc_number element does, it is added to the onblur event:

onblur="if (document.getElementById('cc_numberServerValidation')) document.getElementById('cc_numberServerValidation').style.display='none';WAValidateCC(document.forms[0].S_ProductName,document.forms[0].S_ProductName.value,'- Invalid credit card number','xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx','4:51:52:53:54:55:34:37:6011:30:36:38:49:50:56:57:58:6:6334:6767:',document.forms[0].S_ProductName,0,true)"

the error message is included in the script:
,'- Invalid credit card number'

you need to make sure you change the error message for all of the validation types.
