Required Fields Contact Form - Dawn Theme

Hi there,

I am wanting to make all fields on the contact field required with * and also change the bottom box from “comment” to “message”

Adding “required” to each “input” didn’t work.

Code below:

contact-form.liquid:

{{ ‘section-contact-form.css’ | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- style -%}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

{{ section.settings.heading | escape }}

{%- form 'contact', id: 'ContactForm', class: 'isolate' -%} {%- if form.posted_successfully? -%}
{% render 'icon-success' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.post_success' | t }}
{%- elsif form.errors -%}

{% render 'icon-error' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.error_heading' | t }}

{%- endif -%}
{{ 'templates.contact.form.name' | t }}
{{ 'templates.contact.form.email' | t }} * {%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%} {{ 'accessibility.error' | t }} {% render 'icon-error' %}{{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }} {%- endif -%}
{{ 'templates.contact.form.phone' | t }}
{{- form.body -}} {{ 'templates.contact.form.comment' | t }}
{{ 'templates.contact.form.send' | t }}
{%- endform -%}

{% schema %}

“tag”: “section”,
“class”: “section”,

Hi @bloom-org-nz

To make that, you need to add the “required” tag for each input element.
You can use this code, that I added required tag for the input element

{{ 'section-contact-form.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- style -%}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

## {{ section.settings.heading | escape }}
{%- form 'contact', id: 'ContactForm', class: 'isolate' -%}
{%- if form.posted_successfully? -%}
{% render 'icon-success' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.post_success' | t }}

{%- elsif form.errors -%}

## {% render 'icon-error' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.error_heading' | t }}

- {{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }}

{%- endif -%}

{%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%}
<small>
{{ 'accessibility.error' | t }}
{% render 'icon-error' %}{{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }}
</small>
{%- endif -%}

{%- endform -%}
