New Custom detail field needs to req'd

[kiwi1066]

Hi, I have worked my through this thread that has instructions about adding a new field to the Customer detail form

The field I added is for the customer to provide thier website address. This is required for my process to work.

I have hunted through the Forum and can find many examples about removing required status for exisitng customer details.

The field is on the form, the astrick has been added, the field is in the Admin>Customer details.

All is good except I can't see how to make this field required when the customer registers.

I am using ZC 1.38a
Fresh install with Blank sidebox mod

Can some direct me to a solution:

Look to the other required entries like first name in tpl_modules_create_account.php

<label class="inputLabel" for="firstname">
<?php echo ENTRY_FIRST_NAME; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('firstname', '',
zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_firstname',
 '40') . ' id="firstname"') . 
(zen_not_null(ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">'
 . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

Hi Kobra

Thanks for the info. I have checked the file and bit for my website field looks like

<label class="inputLabel" for="website"><?php echo
 ENTRY_WEBSITE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('website', $account->
fields['customers_website'], zen_set_field_length
(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_website', '55'). 
'id="website"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_WEBSITE_TEXT) ?
 '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_WEBSITE_TEXT . '
</span>': ''); ?>

Is this right, do i understand that by having 'zen_not_null' should mean that some text needs to be entered in this field?

Basically Yes, but try using the developers tool kit and searching for "ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT" to see the many files where you might need to add your custom field for full function
