A few weeks back I posted a message about changing the required fields - it's here...[url]http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2877&highlight=required+fields&sid=f7d5445820f567874b38e8e3c859a4f0[/url]

Although not exactly what you're looking for you should be able to tweak it to get what you want.

Let me know how you get on - email to 042204a at kahlil dot org if you wish.

Hope it helps.

First off, not a bad idea to make copies of the existing files - the files that will change are [i]add.class.php[/i] in the [i]lib [/i]sub-directory, [i]form.p[/i]hp in the [i]templates [/i]sub-directory and [i]english.php [/i]in the [i]lang [/i]sub-sirectory (english.php if your guestbook is in English, otherwise the language of your guestbook - french.php, italian.php etc).

These notes are for making e-mail a required field. If you want to make location a required field follow the same instructions but substitute [color="red"]email[/color] with [color="red"]location[/color], to make homepage required substitute [color="red"]email [/color]with [color="red"]url[/color].

[u]MAKING E-MAIL REQUIRED[/u]

1 Open [i]add.class.php[/i] in the [i]lib [/i]sub-directory.

2 Find the following text (about lines 189 to 191)

[code] if ($this->name == "") {
return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG["ErrorPost1"]);
}[/code]

3 Copy it and paste it in a couple of lines later, after where it says...

[code]... LANG["ErrorPost3"]);
} else {[/code]

4 Change [color="red"]name [/color]to [color="red"]email [/color] and [color="red"]ErrorPost1[/color] to [color="red"]ErrorPost12[/color].

5 That whole bit of script with the new lines added should read...

[quote] if ($this->name == "") {
return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG["ErrorPost1"]);
} elseif (strlen($this->comment)<$this->db->VARS["min_text"] || strlen($this->comment)>$this->db->VARS["max_text"]) {
return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG["ErrorPost3"]);
} else {
if ($this->email == "") {
return $this->db->gb_error($this->db->LANG["ErrorPost12"]);
}
$this->url = trim($this->url);[/quote]

6 Save that file and open [i]form.php[/i] in the [i]templates[/i] sub-directory.

7 Find the following text (about lines 18 to 21)

[code] if(document.book.gb_comment.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost2]");
document.book.gb_comment.focus();
return false;[/code]

8 Copy and paste it in immediately after where you've just copied it from

9 Change [color="red"]comment [/color]to [color="red"]email [/color](twice) and [color="red"]ErrorPost2[/color] to [color="red"]ErrorPost12[/color].

10 It should now read as...

[code] if(document.book.gb_email.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost12]");
document.book.gb_email.focus();
return false;[/code]

[u]ADD ASTERISKS TO INDICATE REQUIRED FIELDS[/u]

11 Still with the same file open ([i]form.php[/i]) find the following (about line 92)...

[code]<td width="25%" class="font1"><img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/email.gif" width="15" height="15"> $LANG[FormEmail]:</td>[/code]

12 All you're doing is adding an asterisk after [FormEmail] so it now reads...

[code]... $LANG[FormEmail]*:</td>[/code]

13 Save the file.

[u]CREATING A NEW ERROR MESSAGE[/u]

14 Open the file [i]english.php[/i] in the [i]lang[/i] sub-directory.

15 Scroll down to about line 72 and create a new error message based on the existing ones.

16 For example, copy and paste the following...

[code]$LANG["ErrorPost11"] = "You forgot to fill in the Comment field. Please correct it and re-submit.";[/code]

and edit it to read...

[code]$LANG["ErrorPost12"] = "You forgot to fill in the E-mail field. Please correct it and re-submit.";[/code]

The message can be whatever you want, the important thing is the make sure it's numbered as ErrorPost12.

17 Save it and you're done.

[u]MAKING MORE FIELDS REQUIRED[/u]

If you wanted to make more fields required (e.g. location) just repeat the above substituting [color="red"]name[/color] for [color="red"]location [/color]and [color="red"]ErrorPost11[/color] for [color="red"]ErrorPost13[/color] (create ErrorPost13 as per steps 14 to 17 above).

[u]MAKING FIELDS SO THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED[/u]
