How to add the symbol for required fields?

[Alex Nitu]

Hi guys, I have a module for two types of customers to register. Just to be clear, the fields are a requirement, and Prestashop knows that, but it doesn't show the " * " symbol next to those fields and I want to display those symbols so that everybody knows that those fields are a requirement. Otherwise, they might ignore and they wouldn't be able to finish the registration without frustration.

 

So the question is, how do I add the red asterix symbol which specifies that the fields are a requirement for registration?

See $definition['fields'] array in Customer.php. Required fields have

'required' => true

Hello tuk66. If you're refering to the customer.php from classes, it won't have any effect because I need to modify inside the module that provides me with those fields. The problem is that if I write that string inside it's file from classes folder, it won't display the asterix.

From what I understand, if I simply add "'required' => true" to each field from the following code, it will show the asterix, but it doesn't happen.

 

Code:

	public static $definition = array(
		'table' => 'date_firme_persoana_juridica',
		'primary' => 'id',
		'fields' => array(	
			'id_customer' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),	
			'numefirma' => 					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'cui' =>						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'cif' =>						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'cont_bancar'=>					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'banca' => 						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'judetsediusocial' =>		    array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'orassediusocial' =>			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
			'adresasediusocial' =>			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),	
		),
	);	

After edit:

public static $definition = array(
		'table' => 'date_firme_persoana_juridica',
		'primary' => 'id',
		'fields' => array(	
			'id_customer' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'required' => true),	
			'numefirma' => 					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'cui' =>						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'cif' =>						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'cont_bancar'=>					array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'banca' => 						array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'judetsediusocial' =>		    array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'orassediusocial' =>			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),
			'adresasediusocial' =>			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'required' => true),	
		),
	);

It was just a hint. I don't know that module. You can surely add the asterisk, but it doesn't mean that the field is also required.

It was a good hint, but the problem is not making the fields required, because they already are. I only need to add the bloody asterix )
