ActiveForm -> client validation does not work with AJAX rendering

[akaNightmare]

I've some code:
CONTROLLER:

    public function actionCreate()
    {
        $model = new Candidate();

        if ($model->load(\Yii::$app->getRequest()->post())) {
            $model->recruiter_id = \Yii::$app->getUser()->getId();

//            if (\Yii::$app->getRequest()->getIsAjax()) {
//            }
            if ($model->save()) {
                $model->refresh();
                \Yii::$app->response->format = 'json';

                return [
                    'success' => true,
                ];
            }
        }

        return $this->renderAjax('create', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }

index VIEW

<!-- Candidate modal -->
<?php Modal::begin([
    'id' => 'candidate-modal',
    'header' => '<h4 class="modal-title">Add new candidate</h4>',
    'footer' =>
        Html::button('Close', ['class' => 'btn btn-default', 'data-dismiss' => 'modal'])
        . PHP_EOL .
        Html::button('Add', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary btn-modal-save']),
    'options' => [
        'role' => 'dialog',
        'aria-labelledby' => 'candidate-modal-label',
        'aria-hidden' => 'true',
        'data-url' => Url::to('candidate/create'),
    ],
]); ?>
<?php Modal::end() ?>

candidate VIEW

<?php
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
?>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
//    'beforeSubmit' => 'window.forms.candidate',
    'enableClientValidation' => true,
//    'enableAjaxValidation' => true,
]); ?>
    <?= $form->field($model, 'first_name')->textInput(); ?>
    <?= $form->field($model, 'last_name')->textInput(); ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

So, no client no ajax validations does not work.

Submit button must be before , in html code before , if you use modal windows you submit button , may be after the tag

I guess problem is /assets/51cc1bad/yii.validation.js and /assets/51cc1bad/yii.activeForm.js not preloaded so yiiActiveForm plug-in not available while executing jQuery('#w0').yiiActiveForm

[mithun12000]

Hi guys,

I find out the problem this is not due to preload (but may be can check later). but its due to form ID which is duplicated.

Please use this code.

<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
//    'beforeSubmit' => 'window.forms.candidate',
    'enableClientValidation' => true,
//    'enableAjaxValidation' => true,
    'id' => 'someform'
]); ?>

this will solve duplicate id on html document.

[samdark]

You mean one should set ID manually in this case?

[mithun12000]

Yes.

because main page also have id is w0
now in modal remote page also have w0.

now in javascript first w0 get selected that might not be a form so validation will not worked.

I have just work around and have this problem, which rectified by this solution.

you may verify.

[samdark]

Ah, then I think it should be mentioned somewhere already. I'll check it.

[samdark]

Thanks for finding it out.

[mithun12000]

you welcome.

what's the status of this issue, especially the problem with id conflicts mentioned by @mithun12000 ?
should yii learn to generate different id for all pages/elements or should the developer force another id ?

Hello, I am currently presenting the same problem and I could not even solve this, if anyone knows how to solve this problem and is kind enough to Share.

[gruposilvercompany]

hola, actualmente estoy presentando el mismo problema y aun no e podido solventarlo, si alguien sabe como solventar ese problema y es tan amable de compartilo.

[gruposilvercompany]

validating unique values it is rendered and performed but misses the modal

[gruposilvercompany]

al validar valores únicos la misma se renderiza y lo efectúa pero se pierde el modal
