Required checkbox (custom field) not working

Hi,

I have implemented a terms and conditions checkbox as per Jason’s instructions here: http://www.s2member.com/kb/force-terms-and-conditions-agreement/ (s2Member Pro Forms (via Custom Registration Field)).

However, although I set the field as required, I can submit the registration form without ticking the checkbox. This is the same whether I use a pre-checked box, or a normal one.

Any help as to why this should be?

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

The validation uses JavaScript to check if the checkbox has been clicked. If that validation is not working, then I suspect you might have a problem with the JavaScript loading.

Could you give us link to the page with the terms checkbox? We can test to see if the JavaScript is loading properly.

Sure – can I send it to you in a PM/email? Let me know how…

Thanks,
Sarah

Ignore that, just sent a message via the contact form…

While Raam comes back and looks at it for you, you could test for a plugin or theme conflict causing this. This article explains how to test them: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips :)

Ok, I’ve worked out what’s causing the issue – I have multiple pro forms on a single page (which I understand S2 doesn’t currently support??). They are both hidden by default, and the user clicks one of two buttons & the corresponding form is shown.

The only difference between the two forms is the level users are registered at. Is there any way of using a single form, but dynamically changing the level depending on which button the user selects?

I don’t want to have to re-direct to another page if I can help it…

Thanks

Hi Sarah,

Yes, unfortunately multiple Pro-Forms on the same page are not currently supported, as it will cause JavaScript conflicts. The only way around this is to load the forms on separate pages.

We recommend describing the various membership options on one page, with buttons that lead to separate pages with the Pro-Forms on them (somewhat like a shopping-cart checkout). Please see http://s2member.com/prices/ for an example.
