Make some fields mandatory

[KrUsTyX]

I want to make sure that users are writing something in certain fields, is it possible? Thank you

[Chuck S]

certain fields like title or description are required anything else you would need to modify code which is called a code mod.

[KrUsTyX]

So what do you suggest? Do it basing myself on the title/description rule? Wich file should i look into? Thank you

[Chuck S]

Yes modifications you would need to do at your own risk. You can look at the top of the uploadproduct templates to see how we do title and description however code modifications we do not assist with those are not a function of product support. We support our code as written since code mods are the number one cause of code conflicts etc.

Actually, its perfect as it is right now. For all the extra fields, you coded it as its mandatory, so its all good, thank you

[Chuck S]

Yep if your using a regular extra field sure thats in there.

as it is right now, description is not mandatory, i don't get it

[KrUsTyX]

You said that description is mandatory, and in uploadproduct template, this is what i see

if (form.title.value == "") {
alert( "{$pp_phrase['blanktitle']}" );
form.title.focus();
return false;
}


if (form.buyemail.value == "" && form.buyit.value == "yes" ) {
alert( "{$pp_phrase['blankemail']}" );
form.buyemail.focus();
return false;
}

and all the extrafield thing, but nothing about description, is that normal?

[Chuck S]

You can add this if you like

Content visible to verified customers only.

thank you very much

[KrUsTyX]

i really don't get it, its there now and i didnt do anything... wtf is happening

it was not there last night, and its there now, and nobody other than me is touching this

seriously i dont get it

[KrUsTyX]

its there now, but its not working, im seriously lost

[Chuck S]

Not sure what your talking about in the its there and then not comment.

If the code I noted is in the uploadproduct template then as long as your not using the WYSIWYG editor it should work. The basic textbox should work with that javascript like stated.

[KrUsTyX]

its not working, and im not using WYSIWYG, and the code is there.

I did a fresh installation in a new database and i will try to troubleshoot like that

how do i move what i've translated to the fresh install?

thank you

[Chuck S]

it works just fine if you add what I stated to the proper template.

remember depending on what your integrating with there are alternate templating in the vb3enhanced vb4enhanced and xenforo template directories.

I have tested anything I said before I posted.

[KrUsTyX]

So is there any way to take what i have translated and use it on my fresh install?

[Chuck S]

Not sure what your referring to as it is not something that has been discussed here. Like I said on the topic we are discussing if you enter the code I stated in the uploadproduct template on the proper template set depending on your site integration type then description is mandatory. You will see a message that says "Description can not be left blank"

[KrUsTyX]

Since its not working for me, i re-created a new database and re-uploaded all fresh files.

I'm trying to bring what i've translated from the old one (because i translated a lots of things) to the new one i've uploaded.

Like this, i will be able to troubleshoot what's wrong with the old one

[Chuck S]

Like I already explained the only way it would not work is if your not editing the correct template set

[KrUsTyX]

well, how do i know if its the right set? I edit everything thru the admin panel.

When i go back to uploadproduct its there, but it doesnt work
