Hi all,
I've been having a problem validating a databound form. I was going to post the code for my form, but I decided first to try running the original databound form tutorial (http://docs.couchcms.com/concepts/databound-forms.html). This is the exact code from the tutorial, and it just won't work properly for me.
The problem is that on the front end, there are no errors being recognised, so the success message is displayed. However, the data is not being entered into the template. So I assume that the required and validator tags are being recognised by Couch, but this is not being translated to the front end.
I think this is the first time I have tried using databound forms in this way on 2.0, is this maybe the problem?
Or am I missing something stupid? (this is often the case, just need someone else to look at it and tell me what is wrong!)
