Validation alerts are blank in front-end editor was created by Robert Peterson
Hello, all!
I seem to have a weird bug in my version of K2. On the front-end editor, the validation alert is blank:
I checked the source code, and the div itself is empty.
This alert is working fine on the back-end.
Any idea where this text is generated, so I can repair it? I need my users on the front end to know what to do.
Thanks!!!

Do you have any required extra fields? Usually this alert comes from them.

Yiota: Yes, I have required extra fields.
On the back-end, the alert displays just fine:
See what I mean? On the front-end, the text is missing entirely. Only the blue box appears. That's a problem for me, because I don't want my users to get confused.
Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Just to confirm, here's a look at the code for those alerts on the front end:
See? It's just an empty UL.
Anyway, I'm trying to scavenge some code from the back-end editor. Any guidance would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

OK, the validation alerts are generated in the K2.js file in this code:
But for some reason, it's not getting invoked on the front end. Weird!
// Extra fields validation
function validateExtraFields() {
$K2('.k2Required').removeClass('k2Invalid');
$K2('#tabExtraFields a').removeClass('k2Invalid');
var response = new Object();
var efResults = [];
response.isValid = true;
response.errorFields = new Array();
$K2('.k2Required').each(function() {
var id = $K2(this).attr('id');
var value;
if ($K2(this).hasClass('k2ExtraFieldEditor')) {
if ( typeof tinymce != 'undefined') {
var value = tinyMCE.get(id).getContent()
}
} else {
var value = $K2(this).val();
}
if (($K2.trim(value) === '') || ($K2(this).hasClass('k2ExtraFieldEditor') && $K2.trim(value) === '<p></p>')) {
$K2(this).addClass('k2Invalid');
response.isValid = false;
var label = $K2('label[for="' + id + '"]').text();
response.errorFields.push(label);
}
});
$K2.each(response.errorFields, function(key, value) {
efResults.push('<li>' + value + '</li>');
});
if(response.isValid === false) {
$K2('#k2ExtraFieldsMissing').html(efResults);
$K2('#k2ExtraFieldsValidationResults').css('display','block');
$K2('#tabExtraFields a').addClass('k2Invalid');
}
return response.isValid;
}
But for some reason, it's not getting invoked on the front end. Weird!

Here's a working solution. In a template override, replace this code:
... with this:
K2 team, I don't know if that's a workable solution for the core, but it's working for me. Thanks!
<ul id="k2ExtraFieldsValidationResults"></ul>
... with this:
<div id="k2ExtraFieldsValidationResults">
<h3><?php echo JText::_('K2_THE_FOLLOWING_FIELDS_ARE_REQUIRED'); ?></h3>
<ul id="k2ExtraFieldsMissing">
<li><?php echo JText::_('K2_LOADING'); ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
K2 team, I don't know if that's a workable solution for the core, but it's working for me. Thanks!

The code above exists in the itemform.php file. Since you have used template overrides then you need to update this file as you correctly did.
