Allow public registration using the survey participants table

Allow public registration using the survey participants table

Overview

When using a survey participants table alongside public registration, LimeSurvey displays a registration prompt in which only the email field is mandatory.

Making All Fields Required

To also require first name and last name, you must edit your survey theme. On the current default theme (fruity_twentythree, set under Settings → General → Theme), modify the registration screen template by:

  1. Adding {{ include('./subviews/registration/required.twig') }} to the first name and last name field labels
  2. Including 'required' : true in both the firstName and lastName field parameters
