adding a mandatory checkbox to checkout pqge

[GregH]

I'm using SD2013 and need to add a mandatory checkbox to the checkout page which must be validated before proceeding with the purchase.

For example, adding an "I confirm I am over 18 years old" checkbox.

How should I go about adding such an item?

Is it possible to edit the checkout form validation scripts to perform additional "required field" checks?

If you are not using the user defined field you can use it in the Design Text under the Invoice Address and Invoice User Defined by ticking Required and in User Definable change the Current Value text.

Thanks Peblaco, I'm almost there.

The "user defined" field is now appearing below the "confirm email" field and the "current value" text is appearing as the prompt with asterisk.

I need this to be a checkbox rather than user input text, is the best procedure to simply change the input type to "checkbox" in the checkout page code?

I'm not being allowed to change the "default value" field. So I'm wondering how I get my own value attached to the checkbox as I can't find the variable in the library.

Is there somewhere else I should be looking to do this or should I just edit the the page code to remove value="<Actinic:Variable Name="InvoiceUserDefined"/>" then add my own value string?

You can use the field above Invoice User Defined called Invoice Moving Check Status then rename the default value field. You might need to change the text prompt which appears in orders / reports. Or use the Settings Business Settings for Terms and Conditions to be Agreed Before Checkout, the text comes from the layout Terms and Conditions Agreed.

I reckon option 2 will do the trick.

Brilliant, thanks for the advice and prompt responses, all very much appreciated!
