Having a profile field be required on registration widget? - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I created additional profile fields, such as PhoneNumber for the default profile type. It is set to be required on the back-end. I added the field to the registration widget template:

<sf:TextField ID="PhoneNumber" runat="server" DataFieldName="PhoneNumber" DataItemType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.SitefinityProfile" DisplayMode="Write" Title="Phone Number" CssClass="sfregisterField sfregisterPhone" WrapperTag="li" />

I'm able to save this field to the profile, however, it's not making the field required when a user submits a registration form. I tried adding a ValidatorDefinition, such as:

<ValidatorDefinition MessageCssClass="sfError" Required="true"

/>

</

sf:TextField>

and it didn't work.

How can I make these profile fields required on the registration template? Also, if possible, how can I change the error message for the other fields? By default, they just say "Required Field" instead of what's defined in the error label for that profile field.

Thanks.

Hello Ryan,

In order to achieve your requirements you can use standard asp.net controls and validator, You could insert this example code in your widget template:

<asp:Label Text="Phone Number" runat="server" CssClass="LabelPhone"/>

<asp:Textbox id="phoneNumber" runat="server" CssClass="TextboxPhone"></asp:Textbox>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"

ControlToValidate="phoneNumber"

ErrorMessage="Phone number is a required field."

ForeColor="Red">

</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

More information and examples you could find on that article.
