Description Field Required like category

Hi @aqeeliqbal,

I am assuming that you are talking about the description in product adding pop-up form.

Use this code in your themes functions.php :

add_filter( 'dokan_new_product_popup_args', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99, 2 );

function rt_888_check_required_fields( $error, $data ) {
 
    $required_fields = array(
        'post_excerpt'   => __( 'Please include a short description' , 'dokan')
    );

    foreach ( $required_fields as $key => $msg ) {
        
        if ( empty( $data[$key] ) ) {
            return new WP_Error( 'required-missing', $msg );
        }
    }
    
    return '';
    
}

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

hi @aqeeliqbal,

Sorry for replying so lately but it was weekend here.

you just need to change the hook.

add_filter( 'dokan_can_add_product', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99, 2 );

This will do the job for you.

Thanks

Hi @aqeeliqbal,

Made some adjustments for this , try this now :

add_filter( 'dokan_can_add_product', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99, 2 );

function rt_888_check_required_fields( $error, $data ) {
    
    $required_fields = array(
        'post_excerpt'   => __( 'Please include a short description' , 'dokan')
    );

    foreach ( $required_fields as $key => $msg ) {
        
        if ( empty( $data[$key] ) ) {
            $error[] = $msg;
        }
    }
    
    return $error;
    
}

Thanks

Here is the final version you are looking for :

add_filter( 'dokan_can_add_product', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99, 2 );

function rt_888_check_required_fields( $error, $data ) {
    
    $required_fields = array(
        'post_content'   => __( 'Please include a short description' , 'dokan-lite')
    );

    foreach ( $required_fields as $key => $msg ) {
        
        if ( empty( $data[$key] ) ) {
            $error[] = $msg;
        }
    }
    
    return $error;
    
}

Try this one :

add_filter( 'dokan_can_add_product', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99 );

function rt_888_check_required_fields( $error ) {
  
    $required_fields = array(
        'post_excerpt'   => __( 'Please include a short description' , 'dokan-lite'),
    );

    foreach ( $required_fields as $key => $msg ) {
        
        if ( empty( $_POST[$key] ) ) {
            $error[] = $msg;
        }
    }
    
    return $error;
    
}

If you also want to set long description as required. try this :

add_filter( 'dokan_can_add_product', 'rt_888_check_required_fields', 99 );

function rt_888_check_required_fields( $error ) {
  
    $required_fields = array(
        'post_excerpt'   => __( 'Please include a short description' , 'dokan-lite'),
        'post_content'   => __( 'Please include a description' , 'dokan-lite'),
    );

    foreach ( $required_fields as $key => $msg ) {
        
        if ( empty( $_POST[$key] ) ) {
            $error[] = $msg;
        }
    }
    
    return $error;
    
}

Thanks for being patient.
