Validation: At least one of n fields has to be notEmpty

goetzi

Hi!

I have two fields, "email" and "phone". When saving an entry, at least one of both fields has to be filled in. How can I validate this?

->validator( 'Validate::notEmpty' )
doesn't help me here

You'd need a custom validator. The second parameter contains the data for the whole row so you can check to see if a valid is supplied for at least one.

Thank you!
This custom validator did the trick:

->validator( function ( $val, $data, $opts ) {
    if($data['rex_csndb_person']['email'] == '' && $data['rex_csndb_person']['telefon'] == '') {
        return 'E-Mail-Adresse oder Telefonnummer muss ausgefüllt sein';
    } else {
        return true;
    }
} )
