adding elements to the checkout form

Hey Ray

Have just added a couple of elements to the checkout process, one a drop down identifying which practice the customer is a customer of and the other is a check box which confirms that the customer has read the 'info about eye test'. The page can be seen here: http://clients.motley.site/friths/checkout.php

I have added 2 columns to the orders table: PracticeName and EyeTestConfirmation

Both are required elements IF the cart contains a contact lens product. If it doesn, the elements are not required

Question 1, I cant seem to get them to be required

Questi on 2, How do I go about adding both to the database as well as the confirmation email?

Thanks

Jamie

Is there a a field in the cart you can check to identify if something is a contact lens? I imagine you have to loop through the cart and identify if a contact lens is present, and then add the "required" attribute to the fields if it is.

Form Elements added to this page should automatically be added to the persistent form. Please attach a copy of pp_confirm.php... you may need to adjust one line to maintain the new fields in the case of paypal express checkout.

pp_confirm attached

The only place that a product is referenced as a contac t lens or not is in the products table of the database (as 1 for yes and 0 for no) which is toggled on/off in the product_update.php page.... is there some way that that can be used?

Update line 25 of the pp_confirm.php page to:
$PPVals = $_SESSION["WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default"];

that way the new form elements will be carried over and can be referenced from the persistent form just like the current ones.

I'd probably add a column to the cart named "IsContact" and set it to that value from the database. That way you can just check the total of that column to determine if you make those fields required... if the total is greater than zero there is at least one contact lens.

do I update the validation code on the confirm_cart.php page to add the 2 new inputs?

i'll try the IsContact way you suggest

Thanks

You could, but probably the client validation is enough.

I had already add the client validation before and now updated the code as you suggested but neither field is stopping the form being submitted

url to reproduce?

Same one as in first post : http://clients.motley.site/friths/checkout.php

It looks like the checkbox is validating and not the select list. Add value="" to the first option in the select list and it should be validated too.
