Field required

Asked by Alena Merklová 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hello. I am editing a template for a portfolio.
Sp Portfolio has this:
Field required: Title
Field required: Image
Field required: Description
Field required: Tags

I need tags and description not to be required fields. Where can I overwrite it?

To cancel the obligation to fill in the description field, simply delete "required="true"" from the file

/administrator/components/com_spsimpleportfolio/models/forms/item.xml

and line 11 beginning with the words

<field name="description"

For tags, this modification is not enough, because the administration shows an error where the portfolio item does not have a tag.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY id ASC' at line 3

this is a major problem because the required item description could be bypassed by inserting a blank space. But if I don't want to use tags, then it will be more complicated...
