Hi all,
Quick question!!!
I have a checkbox call "terms". Is there a way to set this field to be required, so that the user must check it before they can continue to save there record on the edit page.
Thank you
JK

Hi,
to setup field as required check off corresponding check box on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab.

I wanted to do this - but the option is not there for the checkbox type.
I want to have a required 'accept terms and conditions' checkbox on the registration page.
thanks
Richard

You can't really have a checkbox as required as the unchecked is one of the values.
You'd need to check the value in the save record event and reject with a popup.

Hi,
use BeforeRegister event for that.

Here is a sample:

if (!$userdata["FieldName"])

{

?><script>

alert("error");

</script><?php

return false;

}
return true;
