[#7746] This field is required validation message for checkbox

5 years 2 months ago - 5 years 2 months ago #314792 by mikeprince
Is it possible to display the 'This field is required' validation message (or some other text) for a checkbox? My registration form adds this message underneath all required fields that haven't been completed, along with changing the label and border colour. However for my checkbox for 'Accept terms and conditions', where I don't display a title, all that happens is that the 'accept' text changes colour, and this is not very obvious.

Ideally I'd like a different error message from the standard, so I could add 'Please accept the terms and conditions' for example.

Cheers

It should display the required message. Ensure the acceptedterms field within CB > Field Management is marked required.

It is a problem with modal rather than iframe. The latter works ok, but the former doesn't. Using the modal the page source includes

This is with the output being text rather than html, although I did use html before and maybe it is still picking that up somehow, hence the 'suppress HtmlUnknownTarget'?

Sorry, meant to add that it is indeed required.

It doesn't matter what mode you use. They all flag the checkmark as required with the required class. If it's not checked at time of submit it will display the required message below it. If it's not you may have a conflict from something installed. Try switching to default Joomla protostar template and see if it works then. See below where it's working fine.

Ok, this is a bug with certain configuration. If I set CB config > General > Field Icons to 'Only Info Icon', then I do not get the error message for the checkbox (as shown in the original post). If I change it to 'Only Required and Info Icons' it works fine, as per your screenshot.

Not sure whether it is part of the cause or not, but in the error case I notice that no <span class="cbFieldIcons"> tag is output in the HTML.
