    adding validation for date data type

    5Guys,

    Is there a way to put validation for date datatype in the backend. I am thinking of creating a user control for this.

    Please let me know if there is already a control available or a better way to handle this.

    This is my need:

    I have two date fields and I have to validate between these two.

    1 - If the document is new, the first date field value shouldn't be less than today.

    2 - I have to allow second date field value always greater than first.

    Using a user control I can achieve the 2. I am not 100% sure about 1 when user trying to edit the document and when the document is new.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks in Advance

    -Rajeev

    HI Rajeev,

    What you can do is make a sorting in your xslt somthing like

     <xsl:sort select="current()/secondDate"  order="descending" />


    This will make sure that it will order it by using the secondDate instead of the default pusblished node

     

    Hope this helps

    Hi Fuji,

    Thank you for the update. I think I was not clear enough in my question. This is for backend/editor user.

    I have a document type  which have startdate and enddate as two fields of date datatype..I would like to handle this scenario between these to data fields for backend user/editor not the end user.

    1 - If the document is new of this, the first date field value shouldn't be less than today.

    2 - I have to allow second date field value always greater than first.

    The second scenario( 2) I can handle using user control with multiple date controls, But for the first scenario I need to check if the document created is new and not saved then only I have to validate that. If you or anyone have an idea on this please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Rajeev.
