How can make a field required on a new address used on a shopping cart?

Dimitris Rakopoulos asked on November 27, 2014 10:37

Hello,

on the default shopping cart process, on step 3, the user is asked to enter a new address for shipping. On this form there are some required field. I want to have the phone number field required as well. Where can I define this? I was searching on the system tables but I don't think it's there. I am using version 7.0.77.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Petar is right, Kentico 7 did not have a data driven form for the address yet, so the option is to customize the code of the control. It seems that the control is named differently in Petar's project. The default name and location is:

\CMSModules\Ecommerce\Controls\ShoppingCart\ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.ascx

The validation is carried out in the IsValid method.

You may also want to consider upgrade to Kentico 8, where the new checkout process uses data driven forms. This means that making a field required is a matter of changing a field setting flag.

Hi,

you will need to edit file: ~\CMSModules\Ecommerce\Controls\ShoppingCart\MapScriptControl.ascx.cs

In there you will need to change code. If you want to make txtBillingPhone as mandatory edit line 936:

// check billing part of the form
string result = val.NotEmpty(txtBillingName.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingNameErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingAddr1.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingAddressLineErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingCity.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingCityErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingZip.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingZIPErr")).Result;

your code would look like this:

// check billing part of the form
string result = val.NotEmpty(txtBillingName.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingNameErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingAddr1.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingAddressLineErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingCity.Text.Trim(), GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingCityErr"))
.NotEmpty(txtBillingZip.Text.Trim(), 
.NotEmpty(txtBillingPhone.Text.Trim(),
GetString("ShoppingCartOrderAddresses.BillingZIPErr")).Result;

also I think you will need to edit line 323 to mark required field.

Hope this helps... maybe I have missed something....
