I installed the new version and now when I make those fields required it allows an empty field to be submitted. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-60425 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:30:59 +0000 David Smith 60425@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Gary,</p> <p>Just sent you an email with an updated version of Gravity Forms which will allow you to submit 0 as a valid value for required single product fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-60417 Fri, 25 May 2012 15:18:45 +0000 Sargent 60417@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There are three different sets of inputs A, B and C. When a user chooses A from a dropdown its lets them fill in the inputs for Product A. But we've noticed are not filling in the quantity inputs and submitting the form. So I would like it to validate only if the input is not empty. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-60416 Fri, 25 May 2012 15:13:36 +0000 Sargent 60416@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry I guess I should've given more details. The field is a Single Product field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-60415 Fri, 25 May 2012 15:01:25 +0000 David Smith 60415@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Gary,</p> <p>Could you provide a little more information on your setup? I tested with a drop down field and setting it to required will prevent empty values from passing but will pass validation for "0". What field type are you using? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-60411 Fri, 25 May 2012 14:48:21 +0000 Sargent 60411@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I found this thread searching for "Field Validation". I am able to get the code to work in general but I want it to only validate if the field is not empty. The number 0 would be allowed but not an empty field. I'm not sure how I would write the if statement? I tried using is_int() to see if it was an integer but I think a non empty value is being read as the number zero. Is that right?</p> <pre><code>if($result[&quot;is_valid&quot;] &amp;&amp; intval($value) &lt; 10)</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-59627 Mon, 21 May 2012 11:11:55 +0000 Rob Harrell 59627@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Actually, you can try this out and see if it works as a work around: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/drop-down-list-default-value-and-error-checking#post-48891" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/drop-down-list-default-value-and-error-checking#post-48891</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-59580 Sun, 20 May 2012 22:29:35 +0000 David Peralty 59580@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You'll be putting it in your theme's functions.php file:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-59568 Sun, 20 May 2012 20:37:40 +0000 servent1 59568@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Rob,<br /> How do you get to the source code a particluar form to add the PHP code? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-condition-not-working-for-drop-down-boxes#post-59558 Sun, 20 May 2012 18:29:59 +0000 Rob Harrell 59558@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Technically, the "Select One" is an option.
