Hi

1. Does any one know how to set Suburb to a mandatory field?
A few people queried this question previously, but no replies.
2. Where is ACCOUNT_SUBURB defined?

Thanks

Brian

admin/configuration.php?gID=5

or yoursite.com/admin --->configuration ---> customer details ---> suburb

Thanks your comments, but it does not seem to solve the problem.
Customer Details has five fields: gender, date of birth, company, suburb and state.
The value for these fields can be set to true or false. It looks like these true or false
values are used to display in the customers account and not used to make them mandatory.

try this I haven't tested it but I might work.

create_account.php

Find

$messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_ERROR);
	}

Add below it

$messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_SUBURB_ERROR);
	}

Go to includes/languages/english.php

Find

define('ENTRY_SUBURB_ERROR', '');

between the single quotes ' ' add your error text.

Like I said I haven't tested this but it might work. Make sure you have suburb set to true in your Admin.

Never mind the above, I tested it and it didn't work.

A. You would have to modify \includes\form_check.js
You may add a check point as shown below..

check_input("suburb", <?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB_MIN_LENGTH; ?>, "<?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB_ERROR; ?>");

B. \includes\languages\english.php - you would have to define text for error etc.

define('ENTRY_SUBURB', 'SUBURB');
define('ENTRY_SUBURB_ERROR', 'Your Suburb Address must contain a minimum of ' . ENTRY_SUBURB_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.');
define('ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT', '*');
define('JS_SUBURB', '* The \'Suburb\' entry must have at least ' . ENTRY_SUBURB_MIN_LENGTH . ' characters.\n');

C. Condition check has to be incorporated in following files
1. create_account.php
AND
2. address_book_process.php
AND
3. checkout_payment_address.php
AND
4. checkout_shipping_address.php

	if (strlen($suburb) < ENTRY_SUBURB_MIN_LENGTH ) {
	  $error = true;

	  $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_SUBURB_ERROR);
	}

D. \admin\customers.php

  if (entry_suburb == "" || entry_suburb.length < <?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB_MIN_LENGTH; ?>) {
	error_message = error_message + "<?php echo JS_SUBURB; ?>";
	error = 1;
  }

E. Finally in TABLE configuration, you would have to define column and insert appropriate values that would be used to define minimum values.

Disclaimer
- I have not run the code mentioned above
- this is the logical flow for all fields that are being tested by script.
- shortcuts could be to hardcode - suburb check only in form_check.js (but not recommended)

Thanks for your help.
I have changed all you suggested. One last thing I need to do is "How can I add the minimum value for Suburb to TABLE".
In admin -> Configuration -> Minimum Values, "Suburb" does not exist.
So I need to add Suburb to this table. Do you know which table do I have to modify?

Brian,
Use phpmyadmin to view tables in your database.
You would find a table by the name configuration (which has existing data for address / email etc)
Add one more column - populate the data - and that should be it.

cheers,

I inserted "Suburb-related values" into the "Configuration" table.

It works now.

Thank you very much.
