UMB 4.5.1 | SVR 2008 STD I'm using the simple but cool char limit package that Tim Geyssens developed. Works great except for one thing, when I checked the mandatory option for my property that's using the char limit, I was still able to publish my document without the expect prompts. I'm just wondering what can I do to make this package work with the mandatory field in UMB. Is there an interface I can implement to gain the desired behavior.
Please advise procedure. (This functionality is a must for my layout purposes)
The bug fix request on Codeplex is already fixed: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/29681. If you update the Char limit package to support the [ValidationProperty("Text")] attribute it should work in JUNO :).
ah yeah... except it's a bit hacky to get uComponents working on Umbraco 4.9.. i might just wait till they release a version that doesn't require hacking of source code. Thanks for the heads up though :)
Char Limit Package Doesn't Respect 'Mandatory' Property

I am also very interested in getting the Char Limit Datatype respecting the Mandatory setting.
Anyone??
C'mon my Umbraco Umbre's... someone has to know how to do this.
You probably need to modify the souce code of the char limit package for this. Read more about it here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/14157-Make-custom-datatype-mandatory.

Thanks for the intel it looks like this method isn't stable yet.
It should be in Umbraco 4.6 JUNO.

@Jeroen I reviewed the link above and saw that there was a bug fix request put in on Codeplex for it. So in time we'll see.

So this still doesn't work in v4.9 ... is there a way to fix this? Via a package installer would be nice :)
uComponents also has a char limit datatype. Perhaps that one already supports it?

uComponents 5.0 should work perfectly on 4.8 and 4.9 :-) http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/releases/view/88341

Ah cool.. thanks i'll give it a go
uComponents Character limit datatype solved this problem :)
is working on a reply...
