ecart 6 uk phone number validation

by default, the wizard created pages request a 10 digit phone number, so not good for the UK

It would be nice to have the option in the set up, but for now, how do I change the validation, and the display pattern of the entered number for UK ?

On the checkout page, go to WebAssist -> Forms -> Jquery Validation to edit the jquery validation settings for the form on the checkout page.

select the phone number field, and change the format.

i looked up the regex codes for a uk number, and this seems to be ok.

However on blur, the code still formats itself to the original layout, x (xxx) xxx-xxxx and it doesn't seem to be editable via the method you described.

unfortunately, there is no single layout which will work for the uk, as the area code can consist of 2, 3 4 or 5 digits

the format is set in the onblur code:

onBlur="WAValidatePN(document.getElementById('CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default').Phone_Number,'',false,true,'x (xxx) xxx-xxxx',document.getElementById('CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default').Phone_Number,0,true);"


you could remove the format there.

x (xxx) xxx-xxxx

if no one format will work for you, then you could remove the phone number requirement and make it required, but not force phone number.

Thanks Jason

I just wanted to check that the onBlur code block wasn't editable via the interface

I dont believe it is editable through the interface.

Hi Jason, With regards to UK telephone numbers I find that the following seems to work well in eCart 6.0.6

Open the jquery.h5validate.js file and change the phone regex to:
/^(((\+44\s?\d{4}|\(?0\d{4}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{3})|((\+44\s?\d{3}|\(?0\d{3}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{4})|((\+44\s?\d{2}|\(?0\d{2}\)?)\s?\d{4}\s?\d{4}))(\s?\#(\d{4}|\d{3}))?$/

Next in the checkout.php page in the telephone input change the following:
Change the pattern to "\d{5} \d{6}" (British phone number normally have 11 numbers starting with a 0)

In the validate part of the input change x (xxx) etc to 'x xxxxx xxxxxx'
I find that this works well and cover mobile numbers as well.
Hope this helps anybody with the same problem
Regards,
Dave

Thanks for this Dave, I'll take a look

Let me know how you get on with it Craig.

Could you advise if there is a quick fix for this in ecart 6 now. I've tried editing jquery validation and edited the checkout onblur but area but still won't except
p uk and keeps defaulting to us format although removed from above. Help would be much appreciated
