Mandatory questions

[Bob Isaac]

In one of my V7 sites I had a question with a drop down list to select the answer from. I can't remember how I did it now, you can see it HERE.

I want to put a similar facility in my new V8 version of the site and make it mandatory. I have looked at the General Information questions you can put in Checkout Page 3 but can't see how to create the list with that.

Looks like its an attribute with choices to me.

Doh!!! Yes, how did I miss that. Anyone know of a way to create something like this and make it mandatory, such as modifying the General Info box in the checkout page.

Thanks

In order to edit the field in v8, you need to edit the layout in the library called 'General User Definable 2'. You can use the right-click and 'Find' command in the library to go straight to this layout.

Replace

<input type="text" name="GENERALWHYBUY" size="40" maxlength="255" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="GeneralWhyBuy"/>" />

with something like...

      <select name="GENERALWHYBUY">
			<option value="" selected="selected">Select an option</option>
			<option value="first-option">first option</option>
			...
			...
		</select>

Thanks Chris, I will play around with that.

The drop down list appears and can be made mandatory, but the selected information does not appear in the email invoice.

but the selected information does not appear in the email invoice.

I think it will show in the order details | Misc tab. You can run a report to get the info

You are correct, thanks.
