Ok so I tried something like this but this is really not my forte

<?php

// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
Joomla.submitbutton = function(pressbutton){
if (pressbutton == 'cancel') {
submitform( pressbutton );
return;
}
if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#title').val()) == '') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_ITEM_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE', true)."' );
}
else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#catid').val()) == '0') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY', true)."' );
}

else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('.fileUpload').val()) =='0' {

alert( '".JText::_('select and image', true)."' );
return false;
}

else {
syncExtraFieldsEditor();
var validation = validateExtraFields();
if(validation === true) {
\$K2('#selectedTags option').attr('selected', 'selected');
submitform( pressbutton );
}
}
}
");

?>

Still no go tho..
Any assistance or reference would be greatly appreciated!

var files = \$K2('.fileUpload').val(); 

       if(files=='')
       { 
          alert('No image selected');
          return false; 
       } else {
      // Do stuff
}

Did you try something like this?

Hi Krikor

My apologies for the delay - been a bit swamped so this had to take the backburner for a few days.

Thanks a stack for the code above - I tried it however it still allows me to save and doesnt prompt me to add an image before being allowed to save.

I tried this..

$document = & JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
Joomla.submitbutton = function(pressbutton){
if (pressbutton == 'cancel') {
submitform( pressbutton );
return;
}
if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#title').val()) == '') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_ITEM_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE', true)."' );
}
else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#catid').val()) == '0') {
alert( '".JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY', true)."' );
}

var files = \$K2('.fileUpload').val();

if(files=='')
{
alert('No image selected');
return false;
}

else {
syncExtraFieldsEditor();
\$K2('#selectedTags option').attr('selected', 'selected');
submitform( pressbutton );
}
}
");

Thanks a stack mate - scripting isnt really my strongpoint :)

$document = & JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
	Joomla.submitbutton = function(pressbutton){
		if (pressbutton == 'cancel') {
			submitform( pressbutton );
			return;
		}

		if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#title').val()) == '') {
			alert( '".JText::_('K2_ITEM_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE', true)."' );
		}
		else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#catid').val()) == '0') {
			alert( '".JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY', true)."' );
		}
		else if( \$K2('.fileUpload').val() == '')
		{
			alert('No image selected');
			return false;
		}

		else {
			syncExtraFieldsEditor();
			\$K2('#selectedTags option').attr('selected', 'selected');
			submitform( pressbutton );
		}

	}


");

This forces the user to upload a new item each time. tested it and works.

$document = & JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
	Joomla.submitbutton = function(pressbutton){
		if (pressbutton == 'cancel') {
			submitform( pressbutton );
			return;
		}

		if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#title').val()) == '') {
			alert( '".JText::_('K2_ITEM_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE', true)."' );
		}
		else if (\$K2.trim(\$K2('#catid').val()) == '0') {
			alert( '".JText::_('K2_PLEASE_SELECT_A_CATEGORY', true)."' );
		}
		else if( \$K2('.fileUpload').val() == '' &&  \$K2('#existingImageValue').val() == '' )
		{
			alert('No image selected');
			return false;
		}

		else {
			syncExtraFieldsEditor();
			\$K2('#selectedTags option').attr('selected', 'selected');
			submitform( pressbutton );
		}

	}
");

This will check both the new AND existing image fields.

Please note this ONLY for adding new item, You should make a case where the default code is used when the $task is editing.

HI Krikor

Thanks for that mate! I tried it as below but I must be missing something - tell me, this is for adding new article via the frontend right?

Hello,

I am trying to do this too and it doesn't seem to work. I am not sure why it doesn't validate. Is there an update on this?

Thanks!

Thank you. This actually works. In my case the submit item menu item I was using was using the wrong sub template. Noob error.

Thanks for your help on this Krikor!

Hi Again,

Thank you for this code. Implemented it and it works fine. However, I just realized that it requires the user to upload an image again when they are editing the post. Can you please point me in a direction to resolve this? I see that you say we should create a case when $task is being used. Would you be able to elaborate on that more? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Jared
