[solved] How to make mobile phone or other fields required/not required at registration

[Jevgen]

Hello. I made mobile phone required at registration. Star symbol which showing field obligatory is gray. All others are red. See photo what i mean. How can I make it red as others. Use PS 1.3.6

[Jevgen]

all was done by this instruction

Some users may need to have the phone number field required for new registrations. This is quite simple and needs you to edit 2 files on your server. Address.php which is located in your classes folder, and also the authentication.tpl file wich is located in your theme folder.

First the Address.php file. Find the the following line of code:

protected $fieldsRequired = array('id_country', 'alias', 'lastname', 'firstname', 'address1', 'postcode', 'city');

and change it to:

protected $fieldsRequired = array('id_country', 'alias', 'lastname', 'firstname', 'address1', 'postcode', 'city', 'phone');

In the authentication.tpl file find the following code:

{l s='Home phone'}
<input type="text" class="text" name="phone" id="phone" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone)}{$smarty.post.phone}{/if}" />

and change it to:

{l s='Home phone'}
<input type="text" class="text" name="phone" id="phone" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone)}{$smarty.post.phone}{/if}" />
^*

This second section of code adds the astrix to show that the field is required.

You could use the above example to make any of the fields required in your registration process. Just look for the different sections in the authentication.tpl file and add the ^*.

Can you give your live site url ? or a copy of your authentication.tpl ?

[Jevgen]

Add 'required' in your p tag :

{l s='Mobile phone'}
   <input type="text" class="text" name="phone_mobile" id="phone_mobile" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone_mobile)}{$smarty.post.phone_mobile}{/if}" />
*

and finally for those who wants make mobile phone required at registration and using v1.3.6

1) in folder classes find file Address.php and the following line of code:

protected $fieldsRequired = array(‘id_country’, ‘alias’, ‘lastname’, ‘firstname’, ‘address1’, ‘postcode’, ‘city’);

and change it or add following

protected $fieldsRequired = array(‘id_country’, ‘alias’, ‘lastname’, ‘firstname’, ‘address1’, ‘postcode’, ‘city’, ‘phone_mobile’);

2) in folder theme/your_theme/ find file authentication.tpl and the following code:

{l s='Mobile phone'}
   <input type="text" class="text" name="phone_mobile" id="phone_mobile" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone_mobile)}{$smarty.post.phone_mobile}{/if}" />

and change it to:

{l s='Mobile phone'}
   <input type="text" class="text" name="phone_mobile" id="phone_mobile" value="{if isset($smarty.post.phone_mobile)}{$smarty.post.phone_mobile}{/if}" />

You can play with other fields to make fields required or not )

[Jevgen]

[tommyc]

Its not working with this code either

[PaulJW]

Jevgen, I'm trying to remove the requirement for 'postcode' and 'other'. I followed your clear instructions above but it didn't work for me. I'm using PS 1.4.0.17, do you think that makes a difference?

[Jevgen]

in folder classes find file Address.php
folder theme/your_theme/ find file authentication.tpl

did you change all in those two files?

[Jevgen]

authentication.tpl

there are 2 places. Lines 363-366 and lines 206-209

{l s='Zip / Postal Code'}
                       <input type="text" class="text" name="postcode" id="postcode" value="{if isset($smarty.post.postcode)}{$smarty.post.postcode}{/if}">
*

change to this

{l s='Zip / Postal Code'}
                       <input type="text" class="text" name="postcode" id="postcode" value="{if isset($smarty.post.postcode)}{$smarty.post.postcode}{/if}">

and in address.php

protected    $fieldsValidate = array('id_customer' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'id_manufacturer' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId',
                                       'id_supplier' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'id_country' => 'isUnsignedId', 'id_state' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId',
                                       'alias' => 'isGenericName', 'company' => 'isGenericName', 'lastname' => 'isName','vat_number' => 'isGenericName',
                                       'firstname' => 'isName', 'address1' => 'isAddress', 'address2' => 'isAddress', 'postcode'=>'isPostCode',
                                       'city' => 'isCityName', 'other' => 'isMessage',
                                       'phone' => 'isPhoneNumber', 'phone_mobile' => 'isPhoneNumber', 'deleted' => 'isBool', 'dni' => 'isDniLite');

remove

'postcode'=>'isPostCode',

[Jevgen]

save original files before any changing

[Jevgen]

and in theme/your_theme/address.tpl

        

{l s='Zip / Postal Code'}
           <input type="text" id="postcode" name="postcode" value="{if isset($smarty.post.postcode)}{$smarty.post.postcode}{else}{if isset($address->postcode)}{$address->postcode|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}{/if}" onkeyup="$('#postcode').val($('#postcode').val().toUpperCase());" />
*

change to

     

{l s='Zip / Postal Code'}
           <input type="text" id="postcode" name="postcode" value="{if isset($smarty.post.postcode)}{$smarty.post.postcode}{else}{if isset($address->postcode)}{$address->postcode|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}{/if}"/>
