[ic] require field with variable field name

[Russ Mann]

Hello List,

What I needed to do is require that an Email To field be an email address if
and only if it a product is a gift certificate.

Here's how to do it, in case anyone ever has need:

Inside the [if items], but outside the [item-list]
<!-- [scratchd require_me_fields] -->


Part of the [item-list] code.
[if-item-field gift_cert]
<!--
[perl interpolate=1]
if ($Scratch->{require_me_fields} !~ "emailto_[item-increment]") {
$Scratch->{require_me_fields} = $Scratch->{require_me_fields} . "
emailto_[item-increment]";
}
[/perl]
-->
<tr bgcolor="[item-alternate
2]#eeeeee[else]#c0c0c0[/else][/item-alternate]">
<td colspan="5" align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="100%"><tr>
<td width="100"><font __FFACE__ size="1" ><b>[error
name=emailto_[item-increment] std_label="E-Mail To"
required=1]:</b></font></td>
<td>[if !value emailto_[item-increment]][value name=emailto_[item-increment]
set="Not Set" hide=1][/if]
<input type="text" name="emailto_[item-increment]" value="[value
emailto_[item-increment]]" size="85" maxlength="255">
</td></tr><tr>
<td width="100"><font __FFACE__ size="1" ><b>[error
name=giftnote_[item-increment] std_label="Personal Note"
required=0]:</b></font></td>
<td><input type="text" name="giftnote_[item-increment]" value="[value
giftnote_[item-increment]]" size="85" maxlength="255"></td>
</tr></table>
</td></tr>
[/if-item-field]



Then, in profiles.order, in the checkout profile:


[if scratch require_me_fields]
[loop arg="[scratch require_me_fields]"]
[loop-code] = required
[loop-code] = email
[/loop]
[/if]
