Younify is writing about Magento, conversion rates and other webshop stuff.

On many of our Magento webshops we encountered the following problems after upgrading:

• The city field (looked as if) it was no longer required;
• The state field (looked as if) it was suddenly required.

After doing some research the situation is actually that the city field is still required, the asterisk is however missing

-and- the state/province field is actually NOT required, but it shows the * sign.

So summarizing: the asterisk sign got misplaced after the upgrade. On the forum’s several solutions have been posted. This one looks the best to us (eventough it is a core file modification):

Open: /js/varien/form.js, around line 246:

REPLACE:

setMarkDisplay: function(elem, display){
elem = $(elem);
var labelElement = elem.up(1).down('label > span.required') ||
elem.up(2).down('label > span.required') ||
elem.up(1).down('label.required > em') ||
elem.up(2).down('label.required > em');
if(labelElement) {
display ? labelElement.show() : labelElement.hide();
}
}

WITH

setMarkDisplay: function(elem, display){
elem = $(elem);
var labelElement = elem.up('div.input-box').down('label > span.required') ||
elem.up('div.input-box').down('label.required > em');
if(labelElement) {
display ? labelElement.show() : labelElement.hide();
}
}
