required fields

[patdundee]

Hi Guys

I have another strange one for you 🙂

Two fields
Field 1 Drop Down
Field 2 Text Box

If drop down is not selected but there is an entry in the text box, this would be accepted and vica versa.

However I only need the (Required) to appear if the user does not either choose from the select or enter into the text box. So long as they have done one or the other the form can submit. If they fail to do either an alert must come up saying one or the other field is required.

Is this achievable?

Many thanks
Patrick

Hi Ally

That’s great (As always). Is there a way we can add to the to make them choose one or the other and not both?

Kind regards

Perfect 🙂

It is amazing how you can cutomise this form. I have got quite a bit of customisation in place for them. Have to always make sure I have a back up of everything before i do form updates. (Just in case lol).

Many thanks

Oops, spoke to soon
This is the test site and url. There is a small issue that the required notice does not disappear and it retains the selected values in all fields

test.trustedweddingsuppliers.co.uk/wedding-suppliers-services

The custom validators and custom required field are in place for Service and Keyword (13_4) and (13_6) respective

Here are the codes put n place

On functions.php

//Key Word Search
		
		function my_custom_required1($form)
		{
			$dropdown = $form->getElement('iphorm_13_4');
			$text = $form->getElement('iphorm_13_6');
		
			if (!$dropdown->isEmpty()) {
				$text->setRequired(false);
			}
		
			if (!$text->isEmpty()) {
				$dropdown->setRequired(false);
			}
		}
		add_action('iphorm_pre_validate_13', 'my_custom_required1');
		
			//Validator for both fields above
			
			function my_custom_dropdown_validator1($valid, $value, $element)
			{
				if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_4')->isEmpty()) {
					$element->addError('Please choose from this menu or search by keword only below. You cannot use both.');
					$valid = false;
				}
			
				return $valid;
			}
			add_filter('iphorm_element_valid_iphorm_13_4', 'my_custom_dropdown_validator1', 10, 3);
			
			function my_custom_text_validator2($valid, $value, $element)
			{
				if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_6')->isEmpty()) {
					$element->addError('Please either enter a keyword or use the drop down menu above only. You cannot use both.');
					$valid = false;
				}
			
				return $valid;
			}
			add_filter('iphorm_element_valid_iphorm_13_6', 'my_custom_text_validator2', 10, 3);
			
			//End Validator
		
		//End Keyword Search

and the java as given above is on the form in a html field

Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Ally

I have solved the issue 🙂

Changed the code in each section from this


if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_4')->isEmpty()) {


To this for 13_4


if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_4')->isEmpty() && !$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_6')->isEmpty()) {


And from this for 13_6


if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_6')->isEmpty()


To this


if (!$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_6')->isEmpty() && !$element->getForm()->getElement('iphorm_13_4')->isEmpty()


All working now 🙂

Kind regards
Patrick
