Mandatory image on posting ads. Is it possible?

Hello,

Is it possible to make it mandatory for users to upload image whenever they post ads? i don't like it when they don't attach images to their ads and it would be a great help to have this.

Tnx.

Comm'on guys! there's gotta be a way to do that...

See if its required and working as it should now ....

 Hey man,

It is part of the form of 'post ad' and some members do add the image but most of them don't. I know that adding the asterisk doesn't necessarily makes it mandatory so it would have to be done in files which I have no clue where to find as you well know.

I am interested in this as well. Anybody?

Do you think its complicated?

If its not on default there's a good chance its complicated and no one wants to mess with this.

Am I right?

You have to make some comde modifications in order to set the image mandatory on posting ads. 
 In particular, on file BxAdsModule.php look for 

'File' => array

(should be around line 955) and inside that add the following command:

'required' => true, 

In this way, the field is required and the image is set to mandatory.

 Cool another little tutorial if understood correctly :-) Thanks!

 Kazatzo,  this line already exists. Should I add it again? Here is what I have:

),
                'File' => array(
                    'type' => 'file',
                    'name' => 'userfile[]',
                    'caption' => _t('_associated_image'),
                     'required' => true, 
                     'checker' => array (
                        'error' => _t ('_bx_ads_err_photo'),
                    ),

No need to add this again, as long as it is set to true. 

Is image uploading mandatory now?

It still does not force the upload of the image.

I have the asterik sign but when people skip it they get away with it and I get an Ad with no image.

How can I force it?

Thanks.
