    Default Make Telephone Required in Contact Us and Ask a Question

    I am using 1.5.8a. I would like to make the telephone required on both ask a question and contact us. For contact us, I went to /includes/templates/responsive_classic/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php and changed the telephone code to

    Code:
    <label class="inputLabel" for="telephone"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
    <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('telephone', ($telephone), ' size="40" id="telephone" autocomplete="off" placeholder="' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '" required', 'telephone'); ?>
    <br class="clearBoth" />
    However, it is not putting in the required symbol or making it required. Is there something else or different I need to do?

    Thanks.

    Whoops, I think that is an old file as I was mistakenly looking at the prior ZenCart folder for the older version. Where can I find that file I need to edit in Version 1.5.8a?

    I think I found the correct file. In case anyone else needs to find it, it is: /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php

    However, the minimum value I put in for telephone didn't work when I put in less numbers than the minimum, but at least the field is now required.

    You want to take the file

    includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php

    and copy it to

    includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php

    So that you know that you have made changes to this file.

    Hello, maybe you could help. How do I configure site so that visitors don't have to register and or log in, in order to send a message via the "Contact Us" or "Ask a Question" forms?

    I would like visitors to my site to be able to send me their messages without needing to register and or log in.
