Field validation

[beto]

Hi,
Do I have to use JavaSCript for form fields validation or indexu provides some sort of server side validation? For example, I want to limit the number of characters entered, make sure that some fields are for numbers only, and other sort of things.

Any help?

I'm not js expert, but you may find a good js validation tutorial from google.

There are bunch of good JS scripts for field validation. The problem is that, from what I've read, is easy for a user to use tricks to avoid the validation. Do you think it will be possible for the next release to have some server side side validation (part of the Indexu code), lets say from the admin panel, so one could toggle these? I think a few validations could be nice so that one could add some more features through JS if wanted. For example, from the server side, one could set (for the default and custom fields): minumun field characters, maximun field characters, allowed characters, numeric characters only field and text only field.

A nice addition in the control panel could be the ability to set required or not fields for the default fields(URL, Title, Description, etc) without having to edit the php code.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
