Make activity fields required?
May 01, 2012, 02:05:26 pm
Does anyone know a good way to make activity fields (specifically "status" and "details") required?

I've looked through the UI and through the code to see if there's a simple setting I can change but I don't see one.  Am I missing it?

Or, does anyone have any code suggestions?  I'm not a developer but I'm getting better at applying small fixes here and there.

Thank you!

You could try the buildForm hook, just not sure off the top of my head how easy it would be. Maybe $form->addRule()?

If you're ok with client-side validation and popping up a javascript box you could insert some jquery into the template, either through buildForm or with this technique http://civicrm.org/blogs/dave-greenberg/now-its-easier-add-custom-behaviors-templates
