Cart form page 2 adress manditory field not correct PS 1.7.8.11

[Frevab]

I recently upgrade to 1.7.8.11 but discovered after a few complaints from customers that the required/optional fields are not show correctly.

In debug mode I get this error in Front office:

[PrestaShopException]

Property Address->phone is empty.

1041.             }
1042.
1043.             $message = $this->validateField($field, $this->$field);
1044.             if ($message !== true) {
1045.                 if ($die) {
1046.                     throw new PrestaShopException($message);
1047.                 }
1048.
1049.                 return $error_return ? $message : false;
1050.             }

In my cart page 2 only the fields Company, Address2 Line and Phone are shows with text "Optional" but apparantly Phone should be filled. If not customer gets server 500 error (which is not goods for business!).

In previous version of PS you could set which fields are mandatory and which not.
How can I fix this ?

Small addition: as customer sometime forget to leave their house number, I changed the text of 2nd address line to "house number"and made it mandatory to force them to leave their house number. Saves a lot of extra communications with customer.

I found this in classes/Address.php

    /**
     * @see ObjectModel::$definition
     */

    // when you override this class, do not create a field with allow_null=>true
    // because it will give you exception on checkout address step
    public static $definition = [
        'table' => 'address',
        'primary' => 'id_address',
        'fields' => [
            'id_customer' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false],
            'id_manufacturer' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false],
            'id_supplier' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false],

            'id_country' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId', 'required' => true],
            'id_state' => ['type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId'],
            'alias' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32],

            'vat_number' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'],
            'address1' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isAddress', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128],
            'address2' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isAddress', 'size' => 128],
            'postcode' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPostCode', 'size' => 12],
            'city' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isCityName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 64],
            'other' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isMessage', 'size' => 300],
            'phone' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPhoneNumber', 'size' => 32],

            'dni' => ['type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isDniLite', 'size' => 16],
            'deleted' => ['type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'copy_post' => false],
            'date_add' => ['type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate', 'copy_post' => false],
            'date_upd' => ['type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate', 'copy_post' => false],
        ],
    ];

But the lines of interest do not mention 'required' => true.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank your reply but none of these are ticked in my backoffice but still get the server error because phone is empty.

You can check your overrides. It might be possible that any module is overriding the Address class definition.

[Frevab]

I do not see any overrides. In the overrides folder are only index.php files. Only one override for contactform for reCAPTCHA

modules/contactform/contactform.php and
classes/controller/FrontController.php

 

Now I discover I cannot open the orders in the back office and I do not get any email alerts of new orders.

I get this error

which looks like again a problem with the address fields that are mandatory to be filled and which not.

In the back office at customer addresses I have only ticked postcode and phone. The others listed are not ticked.

When I go into the database ps_address table and unselect the fields that are not filled but are ticked I can access the order in the b/o again.

Where is this problem coming from. Never had this in the 10+ years I am using PS.

Since the last upgrade to 1.7.8.11 this has changed (running on PHP-version: 7.4.33 and MySQL version: 10.11.11-MariaDB-cll-lve
