ParticipantWe have a frontend submission form that is getting duplicate (and in some cases multiple duplicates) submissions because users are clicking submit multiple times while the form is processing/submitting. Any ideas on how we can prevent this?
Maybe a way to disable the submit button after the first click (while still allowing for correcting any failed validation)?

KeymasterHi Ryan,
This might be a generic problem for all forms. I think your suggestion is good. It can be done with some custom JS.
April 5, 2019 at 5:03 AM #14071ParticipantThanks, Anh. How can I utilize the submitHandler for jQuery Validate with metabox?
https://jqueryvalidation.org/validate/#submithandlerApril 5, 2019 at 9:25 PM #14077ParticipantNevermind. I've figured out a solution.
April 6, 2019 at 5:45 AM #14079ParticipantI'm still struggling with this. Anything I do with the validate() method in my own javascript file (enqueued via
rwmb_enqueue_scriptshook) is causing the metabox validation function to not work. No jquery form validation occurs. Any suggestions?April 8, 2019 at 2:56 PM #14092KeymasterHi Ryan, I think the validate method works only once, e.g. if you implement a validation on the form, then Meta Box's validation won't work.
A simple workaround is copying the code from validate.js to your file.
Probably I'll make this feature in the next version. Letting you or other developers doing this seems a little bit confusing.
April 10, 2019 at 3:27 AM #14107ParticipantThanks, Anh. I still can't get this to work. When I replace metabox's valide.js with my own javascript file, validation doesn't work at all. The form can be submitted without any validation.
Can you send a fix to me before you push it out with the new version of metabox so that I can get it implemented right away? We really need a fix ASAP.
Thank you.
