Trying to enable client side validation in Orchard

Question

I am trying to get client side validation enabled in Orchard for the comments. I have followed the advice in this SO discussion. I have commented out:

 //ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear();
 //ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new LocalizedModelValidatorProvider());

I have included the following in Resource Manifest in the Comments Module.

 manifest.DefineScript("jQueryValidation").SetUrl("jquery.validate.js", "jquery.validate.min.js").SetVersion("1.7").SetDependencies("jQuery");
        manifest.DefineScript("jQueryValidation_Unobtrusive").SetUrl("jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js", "jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js").SetDependencies("jQuery", "jQueryValidation");

I stuck the following inthe view:

this.Script.Require("jQueryValidation_Unobtrusive").AtHead();

Also I added DataAnnotation to the CommentPartRecord.cs file, decorating Author with [Required]

And the changes to the Web.config:

<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true"/>
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"/>

And despite all of this server side valdiation for the Comments is whjat works. There is no client side validation.

The DataAnnotation should'nt be on CommentPartRecord but on CommentPart.

But Orchard.Comments is not a good example because CommentPart doesn't define the same properties than the Record (it will be refactored in a future version).

Try this on another module o one that you create.
