Require filling the field "Address 2"

[Rodrigo Gomes]

Hello guys,

 

I would like to turn the Address 2 into a required field.

There is no way to do this by the administrative panel, is there any other solution?

Some PHP code that I can insert or modify.

exactly what/how would depend on your orderform template, but if we assume it's standard_cart, then one quick way to do it would be to change in checkout.tpl..

 

<input type="text" name="address2" id="inputAddress2" class="field" placeholder="{$LANG.orderForm.streetAddress2}" value="{$clientsdetails.address2}"{if $loggedin} readonly="readonly"{/if}>

to...

<input type="text" name="address2" id="inputAddress2" class="field" placeholder="{$LANG.orderForm.streetAddress2}" value="{$clientsdetails.address2}"{if $loggedin} readonly="readonly"{else}required{/if}>

it would probably fail in IE9, but then again, I imagine a lot of WHMCS features would fail in IE9 !

Hello brian,

 

It worked. Thanks for your reply!

Hello brian,

 

Inspired by your answer, I created the JS code below. An easy way to make that field required without having to edit the theme.

 

$(document).ready(function(){ 
   if(document.getElementById("address2") !== null){
       document.getElementById("address2").required = true;
   }
})

Hello,

 

I also made a hook in php to force "address2" to be a required field.

This way it is safer and works for any area where this address is inserted or modified.

 

function hook_validation_account($vars) {

   if (!$vars['address2']) {
       $error[] = "You did not enter 'Address 2'";
   }

   if($error){
       return $error;
   }
}

add_hook("ClientDetailsValidation",1,"hook_validation_account");

well done for posting the alternate solutions!

[Rodrigo Gomes]

Thank you Brian!

 

But unfortunately I have a problem.

My php script works perfectly in the client area, but in the administrative panel, the error appears but the modification is done anyway.

 

I think this is a bug from WHMCS itself.

using the hook? perhaps check if the admin is logged in, and only if they're not, run the hook.

Hello brian, What if I want run the hook even with an admin?

[brian!]

i'm not sure why you would need to force an admin to enter address2...

 

what error are you seeing in the admin area, and what are you doing to create it ??

Hi brian,

For tax reasons here in my country, I need certain fields to be required.

I'm using this hook for other things too, like checking the personal identification number here from Brazil (CPF).

 

And these required fields need to be filled out. And this is required even for admin.

 

I'm seeing the error of my own hook, the one I set in "$error[]". But although the error appears, the modification is performed anyway.

And I do not want even the administrator to be able to set an invalid CPF. Or leave "Address 2" blank.

 

Thank you!
