Allow public registration using the survey participants table

Allow public registration using the survey participants table

If you use a survey participants table and you also allow public registration, users will be prompted by the following message:

Non-mandatory public reg.png

As can be observed above, only the email field is mandatory.

To have all three fields marked as mandatory, please edit your survey theme accordingly. If you use Fruity, you have to go to the registration screen and see how the participants email field looks like:
        {# Participants email #}
        <div class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrowc }} form-group row' {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowc }}>
            <label {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowclabel }} class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrowclabel }}  control-label'> {{ gT("Email address:") }} {{ include('./subviews/registration/required.twig') }}</label>
            <div {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowcdiv }}  >
                {{ C.Html.textField('register_email', aSurveyInfo.sEmail, ({'id' : 'register_email','class' : 'form-control input-sm','required' : true})) }}
            </div>
        </div>
After that, make sure to edit the first name and last name fields correspondingly by adding the label:
{{ include('./subviews/registration/required.twig') }}
and this line which makes the field mandatory to be filled out:
'required' : true
The edited file should look like this:
        {# Participants first name #}
        <div class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrow }} form-group row' {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrow }}>
            <label for='register_firstname' class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrowlabel }} control-label '>{{ gT("First name:") }} {{ include('./subviews/registration/required.twig') }}</label> {# extra label #}
            <div class="">
                {{ C.Html.textField('register_firstname', aSurveyInfo.sFirstName, ({'id' : 'register_firstname','class' : 'form-control', 'required' : true})) }} {# mandatory field #}
            </div>
        </div>

        {# Participants last name #}
        <div class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrowb }} form-group row' {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowb }}>
            <label {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowblabel }}  class='{{ aSurveyInfo.class.registerformcolrowblabel }} control-label '>{{ gT("Last name:") }} {{ include('./subviews/registration/required.twig') }}</label> {# extra label #}
            <div {{ aSurveyInfo.attr.registerformcolrowbdiv }} >
                {{ C.Html.textField('register_lastname', aSurveyInfo.sLastName, ({'id' : 'register_lastname', 'class' : 'form-control', 'required' : true})) }} {# mandatory field #}
            </div>
        </div>

Now, the public registration page should look like this (all the fields being mandatory):
