Troy-

I just built 3.0501, which includes the memory leak fix. It'll be up
on CPAN soon as well:

   http://www.formbuilder.org/download/CGI-FormBuilder-3.0501.tgz

Feel free to send this to the Catalyst list too.

There are no regex changes in this version - when we left it, I asked
you a follow-up and never heard back. So that issue is still
outstanding.

Hi Nate,

Thanks for packaging that up!

I didn't write the message reporting the regex comma issue, that was  
Kevin Montuori. I haven't worked with the js* options yet, so I'm not  
sure where I would go to test out the same tactic.

Thank You,
Troy

As far as I can tell, there is no way to require that any one of
several fields be present.

I have an app where I need either field1 or field2 filled out. Neither
on its own is required, and a validate method attached to either field
would not detect when both are empty because it would never get
called!

The workaround for me is to inspect the form after it is submitted,
andmake sure one of the fields is set. If not, I mark one field as
invalid and set its message to something useful, then send the form
back to the user.

What would be more useful would be a formwide_validate callback that
checks the whole form, as opposed to a particular field like normal
validate. This would be the logical place to do what I'm trying to
accomplish.

$form->formwide_validate(sub{
  my $form = shift;
  ($form->field('foo') || $form->field('bar')) or return;
  return 1;
});

Have you tried using the FormBuilder Data::FormValidator support?

Dan, 

Thanks for your response.  You are right that the table would be large (I expect
somewhere in the range of about 130 rows), but I want to be able to make several
changes at once, without having to pop-up form each time, I want to make several
changes at once and then submit.  formbuilder is great at creating a form, but
what I would like it to do is go thru and create several forms on a page.  Then
I can have my users change several sections at once and then make one request.

Thanks Again, Daniel Vela

No, I had not! Thanks for the pointer. I see now this case (requiring
any one of several fields) is cited specifically in the docs, sorry
for missing it.

So if I pass a D::FV obj as the validate argument to
CGI::FormBuilder->new, will the additional validation I set up for
various fields still work? ie can I still do
$form->field(name=>'email',required=>1,validate=>'EMAIL');
? Or do I have to do everything through the D::FV object?

Looks nice.

You have to use the D::FV object for everything, but FB does bridge
the gap by automatically detecting invalid fields/etc. So you can set
messages, but not validations thru field()

1) Add a unique DB constraint so bad data can't possibly get in

2) Write a \&check_username_is_unique callback function, and pass it
to validate for 'username'
