Category and image required option

Hi,
the category field you can make required by unchecking the empty option, the Gallery does not have any options i am afraid as it behaves a bit differently than other fields.

Hi,

thanks,

but if I uncheck the empty option and have choosed only 1 Option is accept, the first Option of the list is prefilled. So Its filled out automatically and I like to have, that the user havt to choose the right category and not automatically the first, if the user not change this value.

and if empty option is checked, the listing is saved without category, if the user nothing selects.

Best regards,
pare

Ok, the required option will be added to the Custom Fields editor in next release, in the meantime you will need to add following code to your theme functions.php

add_filter("adverts_form_load", "make_category_required");
function make_category_required( $form ) {
    if($form["name"] != 'advert' || is_admin()) {
        return $form;
    }
    $count = count( $form["field"] );

    for( $i = 0; $i < $count; $i++ ) {
        if($form["field"][$i]["name"] == "advert_category") {
            $form["field"][$i]["validator"] = array(
                array( "name" => "is_required" )
            );
        }
    }

    return $form;
}

Thanks a lot!
