Multiple Check boxes - making all 3 mandatory

  1. Hi,
    Gravity 1.5.3 and WP 3.2.1
    http://beyondparalleldesign.com/devwpsite4/accommodation/rental-application/
    I have 3 check boxes in a Check box field that is Mandatory. (example at bottom of page 1) I want the user to have to check all 3 in order to pass validation. This is similar to a software license form where you tick to indicate that you agree and accept. However the user can get away with ticking only 1 box or unticking 2 boxes and it still passes vaildation. I tried both default check and no default check. Is this possible? Or do I have to make 3 sperate check box fields instead of 1 or is there something else I need to do? tx..e

  2. Your options are...

    - Implement custom jQuery to enforce validation and require all 3 checkboxes are checked.

    - Implement custom validation using the gform_validation hook to require all 3 checkboxes are checked.

    - Add 3 check box fields instead of 1 and make each required.

    It's going to depend on how simple you want to make it. The easiest solution is so use 3 checkbox fields instead of 1. But if you know PHP and how to use hooks/filters than writing some custom validation using the gform_validation hook shouldn't be too difficult and would allow you to use a single field.
