Make email required on Secondary Registration Information?

Brian Mucha

Is there a way to make the email address a required field on the Secondary Registration Information form? I don't see a way to customize this.

The only way to do so is with JavaScript. You could add something like the following under Customize Pages -> Secondary Registration Information:

<script type="text/javascript">
addOnLoadHandler(function(){
 var nextStepButton=document.getElementById('next_button');
 if(window.attachEvent){
  nextStepButton.attachEvent('onclick',checkSecondaryEmail);
 }
 else{
  nextStepButton.setAttribute('onclick','return checkSecondaryEmail();');
 }
});
function checkSecondaryEmail(){
 var secondaryEmail=document.getElementById('cons_email').value;
 if(secondaryEmail.indexOf('@')==-1||secondaryEmail.indexOf('.')==-1){
  alert('Please enter a valid email to continue.');
  return false;
 }
}
</script>

A colleague just pointed out to me that the ability to make Email required was actually added to the product recently, so you could do the following in lieu of/in addition to the proposed JavaScript:

Go to Step 3: Select Event Options, and under Related Actions click Edit Advanced Options. Under Step b. Define Event Options, you'll see "

Required Registration Fields". Set that to EMAIL, and you'll be all set.
