How to set remaining contact form fields as mandatory?

[Rúben Martins]

Hello,

Using the default contact form it only requires the subject(dropdown), email and message as mandatory by default, how can I set the remaining fields as mandatory like name and phone number?

 

Tried this: 

 but didn't help.

Hi,

You might need to override the contact.php file which is responsible for the contact form field settings.

'required' => true

Add this attribute to the field settings which needs to be made as a mandatory field.

Clear the cache and check If this works.

Hi @AddWeb Solution In witch path can I find this file?

Can you provide an example for the phone number and Name as required?

Have you checked in Customers > Addresses > Set required fields for this section

Thank you @ComGrafPL I believe that only applies to the checkout process, not a direct contact trough the contact form in the contact us page.

To add phone number field, Add the code something like below :

'phone' => [
  'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
  'validate' => 'isPhoneNumber',
  'size' => 32,
  'required' => true,
],

Similarly, the 'name' field already has the 'required' => true attribute present in it.

Clear the cache and check If this works.

Hi @AddWeb Solution thank you for the feedback,

I've added to the classes/Contact.php and cleared the cache but still does not work.

This is what I've, but with no effect

For reference I've Prestashop 1.7.8.8.

 

On another test I've commented the email field in the class and does not take any effect, so looks like this validation is done somewhere else? I've looked in the overide folder and theme and can't find anything that is overiding this.

	/**
     * @see ObjectModel::$definition
     */
    public static $definition = [
        'table' => 'contact',
        'primary' => 'id_contact',
        'multilang' => true,
        'fields' => [
            'email' => [
                'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
                'validate' => 'isEmail',
                'size' => 255,
            ],
            'customer_service' => [
                'type' => self::TYPE_BOOL,
                'validate' => 'isBool',
            ],

            /* Lang fields */
            'name' => [
                'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
                'lang' => true,
                'validate' => 'isName',
                'required' => true,
                'size' => 255,
            ],
            'phone' => [
                'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
                'validate' => 'isPhoneNumber',
                'size' => 12,
                'required' => true,
            ],
            'message' => [
                'type' => self::TYPE_STRING,
                'validate' => 'isCleanHTML',
                'size' => 50,
                'required' => true,
            ],
        ],
    ];

Hi,

Try creating a file override/controllers/front/ContactController.php and define the overridden class as follows:

<?php

class ContactController extends ContactControllerCore
{
    public function postProcess()
    {
        // Validate the form fields
        if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage')) {
            $this->validateContactForm();
        }

        parent::postProcess();
    }

    private function validateContactForm()
    {
        $requiredFields = array('name', 'email', 'phone', 'message');
        foreach ($requiredFields as $field) {
            if (empty(Tools::getValue($field))) {
                $this->errors[] = $this->trans('The %field% field is required.', array('%field%' => $field), 'Shop.Notifications.Error');
            }
        }
    }
}

After making this changes, clear the cache and test If it works or atleast reflects the changes.
