Why is my Joomla profile plugin (3.3.6) not recognizing required fields?
I have a custom profile plugin that I started developing. Everything works fine for capturing and editing profile fields for users and admins, but with one drawback. When the user goes to the Edit Profile screen, the fields are displayed but not required. I have checked and the admin interface stores and retrieves the required settings, but they do not change the user edit profile screen. The code below includes an HTML profile edit page.
From kamalieve.php
:
function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data)
{
// Load user_profile plugin language
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang->load('plg_user_kamalieve', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR);
if (!($form instanceof JForm)) {
$this->_subject->setError('JERROR_NOT_A_FORM');
return false;
}
// Check we are manipulating a valid form.
if (!in_array($form->getName(), array('com_users.profile', 'com_users.registration','com_users.user','com_admin.profile'))) {
return true;
}
if ($form->getName()=='com_users.profile')
{
// Add the profile fields to the form.
JForm::addFormPath(dirname(__FILE__).'/profiles');
$form->loadFile('profile', false);
// Toggle whether the API Key ID field is required.
if ($this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid', 1) > 0) {
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyid', 'required', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid') == 2, 'kamalieve');
} else {
//$form->removeField('apikeyid', 'kamalieve');
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyid', 'requiredFound', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid'), 'kamalieve');
}
// Toggle whether the API Key Verification field is required.
if ($this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyverification', 1) > 0) {
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyverification', 'required', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyverification') == 2, 'kamalieve');
} else {
$form->removeField('apikeyverification', 'kamalieve');
}
}
The resulting set of HTML fields on the user's Edit Profile page:
<legend>Eve Online</legend>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="control-label">
<label data-original-title="<strong>API Key ID</strong><br />Enter your main character API Key ID" id="jform_kamalieve_apikeyid-lbl" for="jform_kamalieve_apikeyid" class="hasTooltip" title="">API Key ID</label>
<span class="optional">(optional)</span>
</div>
<div class="controls">

</div>
<div class="control-group">
