I'm trying to get a validation script at the product options which will check if a custom text field (one of the options) has been filled in. So basically that it becomes mandatory when ordering the product, any way to do this?

[Warwick]

Is there anybody who can help me with this?

Example:

var value = product_option_value("Color");
var value2 = product_option_value("Size");
if (value !== false && value == "Blue" && value2 !== false && value2 == 'XL') {
    alert("Sorry, the combination of Blue and XL is not available currently. Please check back later");
    return false;
}

Thanks for the headsup Eugene but I think this will not work in my case; I have a custom text field as product option and the customer needs to fill it in with a url

[Warwick]

The name of the product option is 'url'

Would this be the solution":

var value = product_option_value("url");
if (value !== false ) {
    alert("Sorry, you should enter an url");
    return false;

Use this code:

PHP Code:

var value = product_option_value("url");
if (value == '' ) {
    alert("Sorry, Sorry, you should enter an url");
    return false;
}

var value = product_option_value("url");
if (value !== false ) {
alert("Sorry, you should enter an url");
return false;

if (value == false ) {

is more correct I think

[Warwick]

So what should I use?

if (value == false ) {

or

if (value == '' ) {

And is there a way to let the script check if it is an url?

btw when using the 'Buy now' button the script is bypassed

It seems to me two variants are possible.

It is highly depend on what are you mean by "correct URL".

var value = product_option_value("url");
if (value == false ) {
    alert("Sorry, you should enter an url");
    return false;
} 

Should work. Code posted above by Ene is OK too. See if your custom field's name is exactly matching 'url' (including case)

Well if it is a valuable url i.e. something.something.tld
