Hi Team,

Please suggest me the code to validate to ensure customers are uploading minimum no. of images is '3'.

This is a image (repeated) field.

Not using Ajax while submitting the form.

The images are added from WordPress media library.

Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand - you have a Toolset post form having repeating image field and you want to make sure that people must add at least three images and the image is selected using the media library - correct?

Please correct me if that is not the case you are having.

Yeah,

You are right.

Thanks

You should try to add the following Toolset form validation hook "cred_form_validate" code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_action('cred_form_validate', 'func_validate_image_count',10,2);
function func_validate_image_count($error_fields, $form_data) {
    $forms = array( 99999 );
 
    // Field data are field values and errors
    list($fields,$errors)=$error_fields;
 
    if (in_array($form_data['id'], $forms ) && (isset($_FILES['wpcf-book-images']['type']))) {
      
        if ( count( $_FILES['wpcf-book-images']['name'] ) < 3 ) {
            $errors['wpcf-book-images'] = 'Add at least 3 images';
            return array( $fields, $errors );
        }
 
 
    //return result
    return array($fields,$errors);
}

Where:
- Replace 99999 with your original form ID
- Replace book-images with your original field slug

Thanks.

Hi Minesh,

I have tested this, it is not working.

As mentioned, the images are to be taken from the media library.

This seems to be working while taking from the system, but no changes while the images are taken from the wordpress media library.

Is the code valid for both while images taken from the wordpress media library and while taken from the system (not through media library)?

Thanks.

I would like to know, do you mean that you want to validate the maxinum number of image selection at the time user select the images from media uploader dialog box?

As, the validation hook I shared will be run when you submit the form.
