Moodle

A 'required' tick-box for fields is missing

Details

  • Database:
    MySQL
  • Affected Branches:
    MOODLE_19_STABLE

Description

Hi,

Now you can create a field for uploading files and the user can give a name to the file but still forgetting to upload a file since it can not be set as required - to upload the file.

Can you please implement that improvement before the stable version of 1.9 arrives?

Thanks,

BR
Jens

Could we expand this a required field tick for all fields? or an option like require all? We use database for a conduct log application. We are trying to enhance it as much as we can till we put it together as a block.

Well before having the tickbox I suspect we should implement this and I agree that it makes sense to implement it for all of the field types. I've linked this to MDL-5583 so hopefully we can make this happen. Peace - Anthony

Martin - I added you as a watcher to this just to get your thoughts on modifying adding a required field to the database_fields table. Peace - Anthony

Here is a non-functional patch but at least now we have the checkbox to select a required field and a field in the data_fields table called required to store the data. So now we can mark a field as required and I have started to do some of the work to make it show up as being a required field but have not made efforts to figure out the best way to implement it so that the actual enforcement takes place. I was playing with the idea of using mforms but not sure how that would work or not with css and the templating mechanism. In any case, I welcome any input and help with developing this functionality of being able to require a particular field. Peace - Anthony

I think this is a duplicate of MDL-5583.

Tim - Yes, in essence MDL-5583 and MDL-11400 are duplicates; however, MDL-11400 is requesting the required check box and MDL-5583 is requesting the functionality so I had linked them as being related but not duplicates; however, would have no objections to linking them. I am hoping to be able to take some time over the upcoming holidays to come back to this (and many other issues). Peace - Anthony
