Need help in validation

💬 General Discussion

With respect to the web-to-lead form, if created with SuiteCRM, a portion of javascript code for validation is appended at the end of the form.

You could easily add there the condition that will return false if both email AND phone are empty.

In that case you also have to change the message returned by the alert that comes immediately after.

for completion the following is the javascript:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
// <![CDATA[
 function submit_form(){
 	if(typeof(validateCaptchaAndSubmit)!='undefined'){
 		validateCaptchaAndSubmit();
 	}else{
 		check_webtolead_fields();
 	}
 }
 function check_webtolead_fields(){
     if(document.getElementById('bool_id') != null){
        var reqs=document.getElementById('bool_id').value;
        bools = reqs.substring(0,reqs.lastIndexOf(';'));
        var bool_fields = new Array();
        var bool_fields = bools.split(';');
        nbr_fields = bool_fields.length;
        for(var i=0;i<nbr_fields;i++){
          if(document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value == 'on'){
             document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value = 1;
          }
          else{
             document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value = 0;
          }
        }
      }
    if(document.getElementById('req_id') != null){
        var reqs=document.getElementById('req_id').value;
        reqs = reqs.substring(0,reqs.lastIndexOf(';'));
        var req_fields = new Array();
        var req_fields = reqs.split(';');
        nbr_fields = req_fields.length;
        var req = true;
        for(var i=0;i<nbr_fields;i++){
          if(document.getElementById(req_fields[i]).value.length <=0 || document.getElementById(req_fields[i]).value==0){
           req = false;
           break;
          }
        }
        if(req){
            document.WebToLeadForm.submit();
            return true;
        }
        else{
          alert('Please provide all the required fields');
          return false;
         }
        return false
   }
   else{
    document.WebToLeadForm.submit();
   }
}
function validateEmailAdd(){
	if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.length >0) {
		if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.match(/^\w+(['\.\-\+]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,})+$/) == null){
		  alert('Not a valid email address');
		}
	}
	if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email2').value.length >0) {
		if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email2').value.match(/^\w+(['\.\-\+]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,})+$/) == null){
		  alert('Not a valid email address');
		}
	}
}
// ]]>
</script>";

Your if statement should go just before

        if(req){
            document.WebToLeadForm.submit();
            return true;
        }

and it could be something like:

        var extra_msg='';
        if( (document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.length =0) && (document.getElementById('phone_work').value.length =0)){
            extra_msg=' - You must enter at least one of email or phone';
            req = false;
        }

Then change the following alert statement to:

        else{
          alert('Please provide all the required fields'+extra_msg);
          return false;
         }

So the whole thing should become:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
// <![CDATA[
 function submit_form(){
 	if(typeof(validateCaptchaAndSubmit)!='undefined'){
 		validateCaptchaAndSubmit();
 	}else{
 		check_webtolead_fields();
 	}
 }
 function check_webtolead_fields(){
     if(document.getElementById('bool_id') != null){
        var reqs=document.getElementById('bool_id').value;
        bools = reqs.substring(0,reqs.lastIndexOf(';'));
        var bool_fields = new Array();
        var bool_fields = bools.split(';');
        nbr_fields = bool_fields.length;
        for(var i=0;i<nbr_fields;i++){
          if(document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value == 'on'){
             document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value = 1;
          }
          else{
             document.getElementById(bool_fields[i]).value = 0;
          }
        }
      }
    if(document.getElementById('req_id') != null){
        var reqs=document.getElementById('req_id').value;
        reqs = reqs.substring(0,reqs.lastIndexOf(';'));
        var req_fields = new Array();
        var req_fields = reqs.split(';');
        nbr_fields = req_fields.length;
        var req = true;
        for(var i=0;i<nbr_fields;i++){
          if(document.getElementById(req_fields[i]).value.length <=0 || document.getElementById(req_fields[i]).value==0){
           req = false;
           break;
          }
        }
        var extra_msg='';
        if( (document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.length =0) && (document.getElementById('phone_work').value.length =0)){
            extra_msg=' - You must enter at least one of email or phone';
            req = false;
        }
        if(req){
            document.WebToLeadForm.submit();
            return true;
        }
        else{
          alert('Please provide all the required fields'+extra_msg);
          return false;
         }
        return false
   }
   else{
    document.WebToLeadForm.submit();
   }
}
function validateEmailAdd(){
	if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.length >0) {
		if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email1').value.match(/^\w+(['\.\-\+]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,})+$/) == null){
		  alert('Not a valid email address');
		}
	}
	if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email2').value.length >0) {
		if(document.getElementById('webtolead_email2').value.match(/^\w+(['\.\-\+]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,})+$/) == null){
		  alert('Not a valid email address');
		}
	}
}
