All custom validation is done with PHP code in your theme's functions.php. Basic validation is built in for certain fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-as-a-plugin#post-37437 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:20:41 +0000 phirefly 37437@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I second this - even a few basic options (similar to how excel works) would be great</p> <p>eg. (on a per field basis)<br /> numbers only, fixed number of characters, starts with / ends with / contains </p> <p>Currently there is no way of adding validation from within the wp interface - is that correct or am I missing something?</p> <p>thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-validation-as-a-plugin#post-37354 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:53:23 +0000 redhillcrea.tv 37354@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/custom-validation-help-needed" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/custom-validation-help-needed</a></p> <p>I am wondering if there is a way to make the custom validation as a form of plugin instead of add to the theme functions.php?</p> <p>I would like to use this type of validation on a couple of websites, some of which are in the process of being updated/redesigned.</p> <p>A plugin or add-on type of thing would make the validation much simpler.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated </p>
