Hi everyone,
Is it possible to make a field accept numeric and text input? I am trying to make the address 2 field in the checkout to accept :
- Numbers
- Text
- Combination of number and text
And is it possible to change the minimum required input from 3 to 1?
I already looked in this file:/catalog/view/theme/default/template/checkout/address.tlp
And I guess I have to make some changes in the following code:
<td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_address_1; ?></td>
<td><input type="text" name="address_1" value="" class="large-field" /></td>
I hope somebody can help me!

address 2 field is optional, i just tried entering letters and numbers in the field and it allowed me to. address 2 is usually for apartment numbers so letters and numbers are allowed by default.

If you want to make the field force number input PRIOR to validation then you would need to use simple javascript. If you want the validation script to take care of it then you will set up an is_numeric check in the validate script.
Here is a script of mine that only allows people to type in numbers into an input field.
Open up your catalog/view/javascript/common.js and place this script at the very bottom of the page below everything after the last }
Now locate the input field or fields you want this rule to apply to and make it look like this:
That input field is the telephone field for customer account registration. Adding this to any input field will force only numbers.
Here is another function of mine that I use to validate a field for Dollar Amounts. It only accepts numbers and a decimal point. Use it the same way.

}Hi!
First of all thanks for the help.
I just started to work with OpenCart and dont have knowledge of java script. I did how ever solved my problem in a different way yesterday (there were no reply’s on my post at that time). I solved the problem by opening the following file: /public_html/catalog/controller/checkout/guest.php
Here I edited the following lines:
if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['address_2']) < 3) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['address_2']) > 128)) {
$json['error']['address_2'] = $this->language->get('error_address_2');
in
if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['address_2']) < 1) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['address_2']) > 128)) {
$json['error']['address_2'] = $this->language->get('error_address_2');
So the only thing I did was changing the 3 in 1.
This also worked. But I am very curious what is the difference between the way I solved the problem and the way you described avvici?

The difference is that you are editing the Validation code in the Control file. That code takes the form HTTP POST variables and validates them to see if they are correct. If it's not correct then it sends an error back for which is displayed on the form saying "ERROR PLEASE USE ONLY NUMBERS bla bla bla...
There is nothing wrong with that method as stated above but it's easier to just force a proper validation with simple javascript on the front end even before the form variables are sent. It's all up to you
There are functions in both PHP and Javascript to take care of your validation.
