Require Phone Number for Guest Checkout

saidias

Where do I need to edit to make the Phone Number a required field when doing a Guest Checkout?

Many Thanks

saidias Chekout.php file in "namedRules" you can edit which fields you want to be required. For the case of the phone you can do something like this

original:
['telephone', 'lang:igniter.cart::default.checkout.label_telephone', ''],

new:
['telephone', 'lang:igniter.cart::default.checkout.label_telephone', 'required|min:6|max:32'],

mlattke how do i add required here im getting errors on the checkout screen

saidias

That worked GREAT! Thank you!

mlattke

salim67 file path: extensions\igniter\cart\components\Checkout.php
then, look at the function protected function createRules() and edit $namedRules with the example in the post

mlattke Is there a way to do this without editing the core Cart extension? E.g does it not have a config you can specify these rules?

ryanmitchell

neogrant you need to edit the rules as described in this case, there is no config on components

I changed it a few weeks ago and it worked fine. But yesterday, I found that there was no phonenumber in the order, and when I checked the code, I found that the code was restored.
This situation also occurs in other plugins, how can i solve this problem? Is there any way to overwrite it with a custom plugin?

neogrant

Ok and not even writing a simple extension to change it would do it justice? Just trying to avoid (I’m assuming here) overwriting the changes when it updates?

neogrant Yup would be a nice feature to have, maybe an event to extend validation rules 🤔 . Anyways, I’ll triage and take a look at it at some point.

ryanmitchell

I think as it stands you would need to reapply the change when the cart extension is updated.

neogrant

Ok thanks for your help

@sampoyigi have you had a chance to look at this?

sampoyigi

roydeanjr Lost track of this one, I’ll work something out before the next update.

Yes, you can write an extension and listen for the igniter.checkout.afterValidate event:

Then validate the data according to your needs
