function buddydev_validate_field_dennis() {

$field_1 = field_65;//the first field which has two options
//since field one is required, we don’t validate if it is not present, Bp will take care of it
if ( ! isset( $_POST[ $field_1 ] ) ) {
return;
}

$value = $_POST[ $field_1 ];////make sure to escape it , I don’t know expected type, so have left it.

//if we are here, one of the option has been selected, so

$bp = buddypress();

if ( $value == ‘Beneficiary’ ) {
//check if question 2( assume field id 13) is present
if ( empty( $_POST[‘field_180’] ) ) {
$bp->signup->errors[‘field_180’] = ‘Required field’;
}

} elseif ( $value == ‘Candidate Country representative’ ) {

//in this case, field_14, field_15, field_16 is required
$required_fields = array( ‘field_141’, ‘field_143’, ‘field_42’ );
foreach ( $required_fields as $field_id ) {
if ( empty( $_POST[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] ) ) {
$bp->signup->errors[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] = ‘Required field.’;
}

}

} else {
//not of the allowed value
$bp->signup->errors[ $field_1 ] = ‘Please make sure to use a valid value.’;
}
}

add_action(‘bp_signup_validate’, ‘buddydev_validate_field_dennis’ );

Choosing no option or the first option works, but choosing the second option ( Candidate Country representatives) doesn’t work. It doesn’t submit when everyting is filled in and doesn’t give me errors when something required isn’t filled in.
Any ideas?
