SharePoint – Publishing Page Validation
Hi Everyone,
Today new issue and solution 🙂 small article but since it took time to solve me so thought to share.
Background: I have a Publishing page layout on which I have some custom fields. For these fields I need to have a validation. So, I used PreSaveItem() function in my JavaScript code for validation but it only works on NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages in SharePoint and not on publishing page.
Solution:
- If you inspect Save button on publishing page. You will find that CoreInvoke() function is getting called on button click as shown in fig.
- We have to override CoreInvoke() method.
CoreInvoke = function(action, target) - This method should be executed when user click Save button on when publishing page is in edit mode.
- Put the following code in your js. The code should be executed only when action is PageActionClick.
//override the CoreInvoke function
CoreInvoke = function (action, target)
{
If(action == ‘PageActionClick’)
{
//Your validation code here
If($(“input[type=’radio’]:checked”).length == 0)
{
alert(‘No radio button selected’);
return false;
}
else
{
// ooBCoreInvoke function here to save form
ooBCoreInvoke(action, target);
}
}
}- This way you can have publishing page validation using JavaScript.
