Making registration fields mandatory

[colinmann]

Hi,

Is it possible to make registration fields mandatory? For example - the "Profile 1" entry?

Thanks, Colin

find these lines(222~227) on your register.php

Code Select Expand


        $profile1 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile1']);
        $profile2 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile2']);
        $profile3 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile3']);
        $profile4 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile4']);
        $profile5 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile5']);
        $profile6 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile6']);

let's see if you want to make profile1 mandatory
add a

Code Select Expand


if (!$profile1) $error .= "<li>it's mandatory to fill in your xxxx";

after

Code Select Expand


$profile1 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile1']);

now your code should be look like this

Code Select Expand


        $profile1 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile1']);
        if (!$profile1) $error .= "<li>it's mandatry to fill in your xxxx";
        $profile2 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile2']);
        $profile3 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile3']);
        $profile4 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile4']);
        $profile5 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile5']);
        $profile6 = addslashes($_POST['user_profile6']);

Great, thanks very much!

Thanks Sami for this post. It works fine but I have a small design problem.

The line 'Optional information' ist still above the aditional fields, but the first four are now mandatory. How can I move this line?

I realize this is old, but since it went unanswered, I thought I'd share this. This is how I changed mine. (Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.14 (stable))


In the same file (register.php) find this section:

Code Select Expand

$form_data = array(
        array('label', $lang_register_php['required_info']),
        array('input', 'username', $lang_register_php['username'], 25),
        array('password', 'password', $lang_register_php['password'], 25),
        array('password', 'password_verification', $lang_register_php['password_again'], 25),
        array('input', 'email', $lang_register_php['email'], 255),
        array('label', $lang_register_php['optional_info']),
                array('input', 'user_profile1', $CONFIG['user_profile1_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile2', $CONFIG['user_profile2_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile3', $CONFIG['user_profile3_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile4', $CONFIG['user_profile4_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile5', $CONFIG['user_profile5_name'], 255),
                array('textarea', 'user_profile6', $CONFIG['user_profile6_name'], 255)

Simply move the option profle lines you have made to be required ABOVE the line that says "array('label', $lang_register_php['optional_info'])," like this:

Code Select Expand

$form_data = array(
        array('label', $lang_register_php['required_info']),
        array('input', 'username', $lang_register_php['username'], 25),
        array('password', 'password', $lang_register_php['password'], 25),
        array('password', 'password_verification', $lang_register_php['password_again'], 25),
        array('input', 'email', $lang_register_php['email'], 255),
array('input', 'user_profile1', $CONFIG['user_profile1_name'], 255),
        array('input', 'user_profile2', $CONFIG['user_profile2_name'], 255),
        array('label', $lang_register_php['optional_info']),
                array('input', 'user_profile3', $CONFIG['user_profile3_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile4', $CONFIG['user_profile4_name'], 255),
                array('input', 'user_profile5', $CONFIG['user_profile5_name'], 255),
                array('textarea', 'user_profile6', $CONFIG['user_profile6_name'], 255)

For mine, I required the first two fields (profile1 and profile2) to both be filled in, so I moved both of them. It displayed correctly in IE6 and FF2.0.0.11.

As an added note: the PRIVATE gallery contains some artistic nudes. The CoH gallery does not. I thought I'd better add that warning. The CoH gallery is the one with all the field edits.
