Mandatory field with view limited by other field

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.1.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.1

I have created a mandarory field. View for this field is limited by user country field. So if user is in Italy, this field must be shoun otherway not.

Anyway if a user from France for example try to register, the field is correctly hidden, but user cannot complete registration because an error message shows that user should fill that field that anyway is hidden.

Any solution?

Hi,

Can you give us more details about the problem that you are having through some screenshots and a link of the page where you are having this issue.

Thanks .

As you can see in the attached image, I need a mandatory field to show for customers in Italy. So I've setted this field as mandatory (obbligatorio) and also I've setted it to show only if country is "Italy".
If a user from UK, for example, try to register, this field is hidden but being mandatory, when user click on register button it displays an error message that asks to fill this field but a user from UK cannot see that field because it's hidden. Take a look at second attached image where you can see the form. The mandatory field is not shown (correctly) but user cannot fill it and system says that it's required.
So, is that a bug about the condition or just need to set something to let it work fine?

Hi,

Please change the line:
$fields =& $this->getData($area, $type, false, $allCat);

to:
$fields =& $this->getData($area, $type, true, $allCat);

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/fields.php and that should fix the problem.

It seems not fix the issue. Still asks me to fill that field

Hi there,

This fix works on our end so it should on yours.
How did you make the modification? Could you make sure the line has been changed?
We may need a FTP access if it really doesn't work.

I will send you a PM. Thanks

It looks llike you did the modification in one place but there was still a line not modified.
You should try again and tell us if it works.

Just sent you a PM. Thanks.

The instructions I gave earlier on were not correct, it was actually the opposite that was necessary and the solution is to change the line:
$fields =& $this->getData($area, $type, true, $allCat);

to:
$fields =& $this->getData($area, $type, false, $allCat);

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/fields.php which was the modification I had made on my end.

I did a test and it's working fine now on your website.

Work fine now, thanks. Hope you will implement this in next releases... right?

Of course.

I've created now another field for vendor in this case. It's correctly shown but view should be limited only for Italy. Anyway it seems not working. It's always displayed.

What's wrong?

Hi,

I fixed the current HikaMarket build (1.3.0) in order to some improvements about the linked custom fields.
I also made several patchs in the HikaShop class fields, patch which will be include in the next HikaShop release (2.2.1).

Regards,
