I want to make two fields from the registration form required. The first one is the description and the second one is the avatar image. The file is in components -> com_k2 -> templates -> registration.php

 

So how can I turn both, description and the avatar image, from the registration form required?

 

Thank you for any feedback!

Can any one help me with this PLEASE?!

 

I really need this!

Have you tried adding " class="inputbox required" to the image and description input code in registration.php?

 

Thanks for your help William. I checked out both strings:

 

DESCRIPTION:

 

<td><label id="descriptionmsg" for="description"><?php echo JText::_( 'Description' ); ?>*</label></td>          <td><?php echo $this->editor; ?></td>

 

AVATAR:

 

<td><label id="imagemsg" for="image"><?php echo JText::_( 'User image (avatar)' ); ?>* </label></td>          <td><input type="file" id="image" name="image"/>            <?php if ($this->K2User->image): ?>"            <img class="k2AdminImage" src="<?php echo JURI::root().'media/k2/users/'.$this->K2User->image; ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->user->name; ?>" />"            <?php endif; ?></td>

 

 

But I'm totally lost as to how exactly to add class="inputbox required" to either string. Do you (or anyone else) have an idea?

 

Thanks again for all the help!

Add to fields code that needs to be validated

Sorry that makes no sense at all. ;)

I also need to have the Extended fields plugin to make the additional fields required so I am looking at this:

docs.joomla.org/Client-side_form_validation#Enable_the_Valid...

Open the \plugins\k2\userExtendedFields.xml file and add class="inputbox required" to those registration form fields that you want to have "required".

 

Refer to Client side form validation in the Joomla documentation.

THANKS JOHANNA!

 

That might be the answer! Have you tried in K2 forms? I don't know when I'll have the time to try it out.

I did this with the extended fields plugin.
