How to make a dropdown a required field? $r->add_select?$r->add_select? Thanks

[howie2007]

Hi Guys,

Hopefully an easy answer. I can make textbox data required in the shopping cart I am using but I can't figure out the syntax to make the dropdown data required. i.e if the user doesn't populate them they get a required field error.

Would love some assistance if possible, THANKS!

 

 

block_user_ad.php

 

    $r->add_textbox("feature_values_2", TEXT,"Building/Unit No.");              (WORKING)

    $r->parameters["feature_values_2"][REQUIRED] = true; (WORKING)

$r->add_textbox("feature_values_3", TEXT,"Street Address 1"); (WORKING)

    $r->parameters["feature_values_3"][REQUIRED] = true; (WORKING)

$r->add_textbox("feature_values_5", TEXT,"Town / Village"); (WORKING)

    $r->parameters["feature_values_5"][REQUIRED] = true; (WORKING)

$r->add_select("feature_values_6", TEXT, "County"); NOT WORKING

    ?("feature_values_6", REQUIRED, true); NOT WORKING

$r->add_select("feature_values_7", TEXT,"Country"); NOT WORKING

    $r->change_property("feature_values_7", REQUIRED, true); NOT WORKING

I don't know what application you're using how this $r object is form OR what the class looks like.  But going by the pattern from the working ones use this for the last 4 that aren't working...

 

   $r->add_textbox("feature_values_6", TEXT, "County");
   $r->parameters["feature_values_6"][REQUIRED] = true;  
   $r->add_textbox("feature_values_7", TEXT,"Ireland");    
   $r->parameters["feature_values_7"][REQUIRED] = true;

Thanks a million! Got it working. Edited ur code a little _value instead of _values & it worked

$r->add_textbox("feature_value_6", TEXT, "County");

  $r->parameters["feature_value_6"][REQUIRED] = true; 

  $r->add_textbox("feature_value_7", TEXT,"Country");   

  $r->parameters["feature_value_7"][REQUIRED] = true;

 

Thanks again!

Sure.  Do you mind telling us what application you're using? (curious  )

 

Oh, don't forget to marked SOLVED (bottom right tab), thx!
