Making Attributes Manditory?

Also check the Security Alert as is did some odd things with attributes when it was setup to be too safe ...

I don't recall it triggering this issue, but another for grins and giggles ... :smile:

And check this one ... it is induced by an add-on error ... :eek:

Ok, it wasn't the Ultimate SEO urls.

And it wasn't the bug fix #24.

I'm off to try the other although did you forget the link in that last post? Not sure what to try. LOL (BTW, thanks for such dedication to working out this kink).

Apparently we hadn't yet applied the security patch, but applying it did nothing for the problem.

At least we got the patch installed tho. :P

I forgot the link to the thread you should check on an add on that breaks TEXT required attributes:

Squeeee!!! THANK YOU, Linda, oh Goddess of all things Zen!!
:clap::clap::clap:

I ran the SQL patch with the things to be inserted into the configure table and while I got an error of duplication on the IH2, whatever else was in there must have been just what the doctor ordered, because it works now!

Here's the specific post in case anyone comes across this needing the same fix:

Thanks again, Linda!

Jeri (and Teri)

ETA: so happy I sent you a cup of coffee. ;)

You are most welcome and thanks for posting the specific thread that fixed the TEXT required issue caused by the add on ...

We greatly appreciate your support ... :smile:

Radio...only one can be selected.....and if you use default then always one will pass to cart

Checkboxes....can turn them all on or all off or anywhere inbetween...so nothing could be sent to cart....

Dropdowns....solution works if you have multiple choices but only need one and not the default read-only one. But if you want more than one then that can't be done...as multiple selection in drop-downs is not in zen.....

Actually, I've never seen a dropdown anywhere that allowed multiple selections at the same time. If you know of one, a link to see it would be interesting.

The best solution for your case would probably be checkboxes with some verification code that would (optionally) require at least one selection before adding to cart.

Multiple select dropdown is standard HTML see:

The example on the linked page doesn't allow multiple simultaneous selections, though the description indicates that it should. That page is a proprietary program, and really doesn't help with actually getting multiple select dropdowns.

"nTreePoint Web Forms is a powerful tool that allows non-technical users to create online forms and manage data without the need for programmers or custom development. "

w3schools.com mentions the "multiple" attribute for <select>, but it would need custom programming to use the result.

A little googling shows that this is largely an ASP special function, though I did see a PHP reference to constructing it: Multiple Select Drop Down Menu in PHP.
