There are built in Joomla validations as well. But you can also set up a Custom validation rule and this is form rule as its known. This is what we want to demonstrate. We going to call our rule 'strlenTen'. My string must be longer than 10 characters.

So now that we've got our validation set. We don't have an area for you to write the rule and have it be included. So the way you do this and I think it's efficient, is that you right up the file yourself, you put it in the custom folder of JCB and you include it into the component that it places it in the correct place. +Now we want to have a Custom validation here.

So you you can just add your rule to this folder(models/rules') Which I will demonstrate to you in the moment. +You see the one thing that JCB already does for you, is that it creates a folder called rules and in the forms every XML if we open it already has a field path and a rule path.
