AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hi,

In AC 7.07, would it be possible to make the selection of a component "required".

There don't seems to be a way to do that.

Thanks.

Just leave the "header option" blank. This is for dropdown, not sure what you are using.

Hi,

I think you misunderstood me. We need to force the shopper to select at least 1 of the component options. Leaving the header blank does not make the selection "required".

Can someone from Able Commerce help with this? This should be a very basic feature for kitting.


Thanks.

It makes it so one of the options is already selected. It does not require them to change it to a different option but they cannot checkout without having something selected.

We worked around the problem in our own client's store by having two header types: "-- please select --" and "-- optional --". That way it becomes obvious to the customer what to do. Technically, the customer *could* checkout without specifying a value, but it hasn't been an ongoing problem for the client.

I suppose in a future version, I could use that consistent text to trigger a RegularExpressionValidator. (I would have to reprogram the BuyProductDialog to do so, though.)

Thanks for the replies. I think another option is to customize at the UI level to make the options required.
