Hello, :D
I am trying to add a Empty validation rule for the 'Leave comment' text-box on the check out page.
Which file should I look at to make it as a compulsory filed????
Thank you!! :)
David
FE/views/cart/tmpl/default.php
Thank you, Milbo :D
I have looked at the file and tried to insert form validation using this method displayed on: http://docs.joomla.org/Client-side_form_validation
<form method="post" id="checkoutForm" name="checkoutForm" action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart'.$taskRoute,$this->useXHTML,$this->useSSL ); ?>" class="form-validate" onSubmit="return myValidate(this);>
.
.
.
<textarea class="required" name="customer_comment" cols="50" rows="4" ><?php echo $this->cart->customer_comment; ?></textarea>
But nothing happen when I clicked on 'Check out' or 'Confirm Order' button.
Sorry, I am still beginner :'(. It would be really grateful if you give me some more advice for this. Thank you very much!
David
Maybe it is easier to create a shopperfield for that and ask for that in the address part.
Milbo,
I solved it by calling another java script from the 'Check out' button in view.html.php in the Cart folder
and I call the 'Check out' java script in the other javascript in default.php:)
Cheers
David

Hey, this is what I have done. This is a required field validation for my order timing validation (calendar).
You may use this method for your needs. ;D
First file:\components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\view.html.php
This modification is to insert the Java form validation on the cart page instead of submitting the form straight away.
if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog')) {
//$checkout_link_html = '<a class="vm-button-correct" href="javascript:document.checkoutForm.submit();" ><span>' . $text . '</span></a>'; -- original code
$checkout_link_html = '<a class="vm-button-correct" href="javascript:myValidate(this);" ><span>' . $text . '</span></a>';//replaced code
} else {
$checkout_link_html = '';
}
$this->assignRef('checkout_link_html', $checkout_link_html);
}
2nd file:\html\com_virtuemart\cart\default.php - this is a template override file
Insert this java script and replace the 'ordertiming' as you want. It would be 'comment' for you.
<script language="javascript">
function myValidate(f) {
var ot = document.getElementById('ordertiming');
//document.checkoutForm.submit();
if (ot.value=="") {
alert('Please Select the Order Timing');
}
else {
document.checkoutForm.submit();
}
}
Hope this helps you guys. cheers
Thank you very much David.
God bless you.
