required attribute not working 1.3.6

Dear Zenners,

I am trying to set some attributes to required but the system keeps
allowing empty posts somehow.

• with products it is required to upload an image

I have it on Required in the attr. manager... but maybe i am missing something?

Thanks!

I may be missing something as well but I have some Attributes set as Text. I have it as required. However the customer can leave it blank and can check out with the product.

I am running 1.3.6. Any ideas?

Do you have an URL to a Product that you are having trouble with so we can see how it is configured?

Here is a product that has text attributes. I have them set as required but you can leave them blank and still add them to the cart.

http://www.popupparts.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_8&products_id=64

Here is the Year attribute for that product in admin:

Option Name: Year
Option Value: TEXT
Prefix Price: + 0.0000
Prefix Weight + 0
Order: 0
Display Only: Off
Free: On
Default: Off
Discounted: On
Base Price: On
Required: On

Try changing to Classic template ... does it work?

If so, it sounds like the add-on you are using is not following the rules for the field ...

I changed it to classic and I still was able to check out the product without filling in the text.

I have not used that tabbed products _info to know if this is affecting your information or not ...

As we do not have this issue in v1.3.6 ... I would have to say it is related to that add-on ...

Perhaps someone else using it could test a required TEXT attribute and see what issues exist ... if any ...

I'm using the Gloss_Blue template and also having same problem of required attributes not working and allowing customer to still checkout.

Ideas???

Have you an URL to a Product where you have these setup and can you explain which are required?

Hi Linda,

Sorry just getting back on this topic. First off just a quick THANK YOU for all you do with Zencart. OK here is an example URL http://outdoorsinteriors.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=193

For example I have the attribute "Color" with 2 selections (black/rust)available and on the first selection black in attributes I choose "required" and on the other color rust it is not required. When I actually go to the product and not select either option I'm still able to check out. Is the reason its not working because both selections need to be required?

I temporarily am getting around this by forcing the black color choice as default. Hopefully this all makes sense.

Thanks

Not quite the right application ...

Make an Option Value such as:
Select a Color
Default
Display Only

Now the customer has to pick Black or Rust as they cannot leave it set to:
Select a Color ... as that is set to: Display Only

Hi Linda,
I have the same problem, is this allready resolved? Would be great if you or anybody could give me any notice. Found this posting quite after my thread here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57828

My required text-fileds do not work neither with classic nor with custom template any longer. Previously they worked fine.

Installed yesterday "Image Handler2", may this affect this functionality?

Thanks a lot for help.

Walter
