XF 2.1 Access value of addon's another option inside validation callback?

[asprin]

Hi experts,

I've the following validation class defined in one of the addon options


And inside this function, I'm attempting to get the value of another optionId


So is possible to get what its value is in the aforementioned callback function?

public static function checkFoo(&$value, \XF\Entity\Option $option, $optionId)
{     
    /*
    if(genMulFirst == 'somevalue')
    {
        then go ahead and perform some validation for $value
    }
    */
    
    return true;
}

Kinda boring question

if (\XF::options()->genMulFirst === 'somevalue')

You could run into problems though if both options are on the same page.

Someone's gotta take charge of being boring

You could run into problems though if both options are on the same page.

Sorry, didn't get this. On the same page as in? Some other addon using the same option key?

On the same options page.

For example options boardActive and boardInactiveMessage on the same page while boardTitle is on a different page.

Why does that matter?

If both are on the same page the validation code might check the existing option value, not the (possibly) updated value as \XF::options() might not yet have been updated when the valudation code is executed.

Thanks for the explanation. I decided to go the "Named Template" route and use the <xf:dependent /> tag to club the two options into one.
