Required field ONLY on register form ?

How to make a field "required" on registration form only?

The site has already a lot of users.
New registrations should see a special field group as "required".
This field group should stay optional for all existing users... otherwise they are bothered on editing their profile.

Any solution or idea?


PS: I guess there is no configuration or setup for this particular application, right? What about using JavaScript on Register form... make the field temporary required... that would not alter the profile-edit !?

We've nothing for that, but you maybe able to fake it using CB Conditional (it can set fields required/non-required) by checking if email is not empty then setting the condition to not function on registration. Using JS only will not work; CB has PHP protection against simple DOM edits.

Conditional, good idea. Might be a suitable workaround!

Protection:
What about show/hide or pre-selection of selectboxes/checkboxes/radio ? Is this possible?

For pre-selected you can only do this for fields at registration by configuring the Default parameter when editing your fields in Field Management. This parameter will do nothing for fields not displayed on profile though.

As for the show/hide, of course; that's the main purpose of CB Conditional.

Sorry my fault, i mean show/hide/pre-selection with custom JavaScript on register form. Does the protection allow such manipulations?

(the values or criterias i need, might be attached to the register-URL. Then i decide on those "values" which field is hidden or selected)

Pre-selected values would work as they'd post with the form. Show/hide would not work for required fields as you'd need PHP to remove the required flag. CB Conditional can do all of this easily for you except for the pre-selecting.
