Attachment Mandatory with message if attachment isnt provided

HenryD · ‎01-10-2022

Hello, currently i am trying to do a client script that makes my catalog item have to submit a attachment and its mandatory, also want to add a message if they dont add a mandatory for it to submit. i tried using the variable attachment but i need to do it with the user adding the attachment to the paper clip on top of the catalog item. i have been researching tips and tricks but none seem to work for me, if anyone has done this lately or can point me to the righ direction i appreciate it. thank you in advance

Hi,

My apologies for all the back and forth. I was hoping that the above code would work, but apparently not.

I've now tested this myself, because I didn't want to suggest you something else and have it be incorrect (previously, I thought the other code pieces did work).

So this works for me:

function onSubmit() {
    var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
    if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none') {
        alert("Please add at least 1 attachment in order to submit request");
        return false;
    }
}

Hello thank you for this, i used this in for desktop onSubmit but i got this error when i tried to checkout:

onSubmit script error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'document'):
function () { [native code] }

not sure how to go about that

Hello,

Please see my previous reply where I mention the "Isolate script" checkbox.

Did you do that step?

hello yes, i just unchecked the box and now i tried again, im getting a newer error:

onSubmit script error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getElementsByClassName'):
function onSubmit() {

if (this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
  g_form.addErrorMessage(getMessage('attachment_mandatory'));

  return false;
}

}

do i need to fix the script, thank you for your help btw

Hello,

This should be working fine as is, though, I can change this to an alert just for the sake of testing.

The "Isolate Script" field needs to be false(unchecked).

if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
alert('You must add at least 1 attachment to submit this request.');
return false;
}

Please share a screenshot of your entire client script submit form, if your issue is still not resolved.
