checkout comment required

[rizrock]

Hi again,

 

another way of retrieving required information from the customer in my astrology shop would be to make the checkout comment text box "required": with a minimum length of 20 digits.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

thanks a lot

seems to be a hard task since nobody dares to answer...

 

Is it just me or is the forum's search function working kinda strange?

I got a good hint on the german board.

 

this is it: comments box allows no less than 50 digits.

in checkout_confirmation.php insert:

//-- Check the comments field
   if (strlen($HTTP_POST_VARS['comments']) < 50) {
     tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, 'error_message=' . urlencode(ERROR_CHECKOUT_COMMENTS_EMPTY), 'SSL', true, false));
   }

 

in includes/languages/german.php insert:

define('ERROR_CHECKOUT_COMMENTS_EMPTY', 'please enter your blablabla text here');

however... simple as that.

Hi,

 

I tried this and had some problems. I was able to check out without comments, but I did get an error at the bottom of the confirmation page. Is there more to this than shown above, like perhaps placement ofthe code in the confirmation file? I tried putting it at the end.

 

Thanks,
