Well, even if it can be simple, it can't be done without code modifications. You will need to work on both controller (adding field validation rules) and template files (mainly adding the asterisk *) for 3 sections: normal account registration, registration during checkout, checkout as guest.

I already added the * to the fields in checkout, to at least make people think they are required. Which controller files would I need to look at? I can usually figure stuff out if I see an example, but nothing was jumping out at me when I looked.

catalog/controller:
account/register.php
account/edit.php (if you want to avoid that a customer remove the company field content after registration)
checkout/register.php
checkout/guest.php

Ah, you will need also to slightly modify corresponding template files in order to show the error message in case of validation failure.

Anyone got a detailed tutorial to fix this? I also need to add two extra fields to the address section and they need to be required (company number and tax number). If anyone can create an extension it would be nice, no problem to pay for it.

Hi, I have written a vqmod for a mate of mine that makes the Company required.

It's not that difficult. Let's walk you through it.

Open catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/register.tpl and find this line:

Code: Select all

<tr>
          <td><?php echo $entry_company; ?></td>
          <td><input type="text" name="company" value="<?php echo $company; ?>" /></td>
        </tr>
Make it look like this:

Code: Select all

 <tr>
          <td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_company; ?></td>
          <td><input type="text" name="company" value="<?php echo $company; ?>" /><?php if ($error_company) { ?>
            <span class="error"><?php echo $error_company; ?></span>
            <?php } ?></td>
        </tr>
Now open catalog/controller/account/register.php and find this line:

Code: Select all

if (isset($this->error['zone'])) {
			$this->data['error_zone'] = $this->error['zone'];
		} else {
			$this->data['error_zone'] = '';
		}
Right below that add this:

Code: Select all

if (isset($this->error['company'])) {
			$this->data['error_company'] = $this->error['company'];
		} else {
			$this->data['error_company'] = '';
		}
Now find this line:

Code: Select all

if ($this->request->post['country_id'] == '') {
      		$this->error['country'] = $this->language->get('error_country');
    	}
Right below it add this:

Code: Select all

if ($this->request->post['company'] == '') {
      		$this->error['company'] = $this->language->get('error_company');
    	}
Lastly open language/english/account/register.php and add this to the list:

Code: Select all

$_['error_company']         = 'Warning: Company name required';
Done.

That was very helpful avvici. That worked great for making the Company field required during registration. How do I get this same result for the registration during the checkout process?

Hi,

Does someone know how to do this within the checkout form?
Just can't get it to work properly. Got it to do the verification ( I think, it will not continue without a company filled in) but no error message is generated.

Can someone help?

Regards,

Martijn

Thank you for the files, It also works for OC 1.5.6
Question, How do you let this work in the checkout page, I mean like the page where people can place their order without login --> Direct Order page.

I believe it's something with checkout/checkout.php ?

Best regards,
Nawid

This works great from the Manual Create Account page but there are different files if they create an account from the Checkout process. Those files used are:
check/register.tpl
catalog/controller/checkout/register.php
catalog/language/english/checkout/register.php

I'm having trouble with the middle file since the format of that file doesn't match the format of the controller/account/register.php file.

Can anyone help with that file? or is there a way to disable creating an account from in the checkout process to force everyone to have to use the regular account creation page?

Thanks.
