  • when and where did you called that function to validate? – Toretto Jan 22 '15 at 12:12
  • do not add/edit core files its not recommended, You can create Plugins Joomla already comes with sample profile plugin check the code and catch the proper [plugin](https://docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events) events ! – Jobin Jan 22 '15 at 12:17

You need to enable the behaviour of validate on your form. Add form-validate class to your form as well. you have different classes:-

  1. required
  2. validate-username
  3. validate-password
  4. validate-numeric
  5. validate-email
  6. validate-[custom] -> custom defined Use this link for Joomla

Or you can easily validate the form using jQuery or HTML's required attribte and pattern attribute.
