What validation for fileupload?

[jfquestiaux]

I have an Ajax fileupload for which I want to validate to force user to upload at least one file.

I tried the "notempty" validation, but the validations always fails, even if there is an uploaded file.
Is there a(nother) way?

This is for Fabrik 3.1RC1

Hi there,

I encountered the same issue with fileuploads and was told nothing can be done.

Thanks, but it is not exactly the same issue: I know that when SOME validation fails on a form with a fileupload element, the selected file gets lost. That seems to be the way browsers work.
In my case, I am looking for a "notempty" validation for the fileupload itself. The "notempty" plugin does not work.

the ajax upload element is slightly different to the normal one, as we do have a reference to the fileuploaded (as its uploaded before the form is processed) - this might also explain why the validations aren't applied or applied incorrectly.
I'll raise a ticket on this one (https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/issues/1043).
Sorry I'm only raising tickets at the moment but there's a lot of pro outstanding issues, and at the moment I just want to ensure everyone know's I'm aware of their issues and that they will be looked at.
