Adding Required Fields v5.0b

[jeffbrumbaugh]

Hello, I have read through the WIKI and trolled through the Forums on how to add required fields. I have updated the modules/modname/vardefs.php file and the /cache/modules/modname/editview.tpl files accordingly. I have the pretty red asterik, but the field is not required. Here is the code from the vardefs.php file:

'refered_by' =>
array (
'name' => 'refered_by',
'vname' => 'LBL_REFERED_BY',
'required' => true,
'type' => 'varchar',
'len' => '100',
'comment' => 'Identifies who refered the lead',
'merge_filter' => 'enabled',

Any thoughts?

Have you tried the Admin -> Repair -> Clear Vardefs Data Cache and then check only the clear vardefs checkbox. After doing go back to page for that module so it refreshes the vardefs. Then check the file cache/modname/modname_vardefs.php to see if the required flag exists for the field in this file.

Did you set the required flag in fields_meta_data table in the database for this entry?

[jeffbrumbaugh]

Yes, I've done the repair-clear vardefs data cache (actually read that online). Still have the same issue. I checked the cached version and it is set for required.

You don't have a default value defined for the field do you? What gets saved in the database if it is saved empty?

Hi, jeffbrumbaugh

Try setting the system to developer mode.

If the cached version is set for required, you only forgot to to Repair the JS Files.
The JS Files are used for the presentation on the panels.
