Validating and hiding fields
Using the below shown TypoScript configuration allows to change the validation and rendering of fields of the billing and shipping address. The partials for the display of the addresses evaluates this configuration. It controls whether the fields are mandatory, optional or not rendered at all.
Tip
This way it is easily possible to unhide e.g the fields street or
addition (which is a field for additional address information) which are
already defined but hidden by default.
Have a look at all fields with the value Empty to see all available
fields.
plugin.tx_cart {
settings {
validation {
billingAddress {
fields {
salutation.validator = NotEmpty
title.validator = Empty
firstName.validator = NotEmpty
lastName.validator = NotEmpty
email.validator = NotEmpty
phone.validator = Empty
fax.validator = Empty
company.validator = Empty
taxIdentificationNumber.validator = Empty
street.validator = NotEmpty
streetNumber.validator = Empty
addition.validator = Empty
zip.validator = NotEmpty
city.validator = NotEmpty
country.validator = NotEmpty
}
}
shippingAddress {
fields {
salutation.validator = NotEmpty
title.validator = Empty
firstName.validator = NotEmpty
lastName.validator = NotEmpty
email.validator = NotEmpty
phone.validator = Empty
fax.validator = Empty
company.validator = Empty
taxIdentificationNumber.validator = Empty
street.validator = NotEmpty
streetNumber.validator = Empty
addition.validator = Empty
zip.validator = NotEmpty
city.validator = NotEmpty
country.validator = NotEmpty
}
}
}
}
}Available validation options
The following examples show the available configuration options.
The examples use the field salutation of the invoice address.
Option Not Empty
Not means the field is mandatory. This has the following consequences:
- The field is rendered.
- The label of the field is rendered with a trailing "*".
- The input field is rendered with the attribute
requiredset totrue.
plugin.tx_cart.settings.validation.billingAddress.fields {
salutation.validator = NotEmpty
}Option Empty
Empty means that the field MUST be empty. This has the following consequences:
- The field is not rendered at all.
- The server checks whether the field is empty.
plugin.tx_cart.settings.validation.billingAddress.fields {
salutation.validator = Empty
}No validation
This has the following consequences:
- The field is rendered.
- The label of the field is rendered without a trailing "*".
- The input field is rendered without the attribute
required.
Important
While the two configuration above can be made within the
constants. is this configuration done in setup..
plugin.tx_cart.settings.validation.billingAddress.fields {
# !!! It is necessary to remove the whole address field,
# not only the `validator` configuration.
salutation >
}Note
The email address should always remain a required field, because it is needed for the ordering process and for sending emails. If no e-mail address is to be specified, the corresponding EventListeners must be deactivated.
