I've got a custom profile plugin I've started developing. All is working fine for capturing and editing the profile fields for the users and administrators, but with one flaw. When the user goes to the "edit profile" screen, the fields show up but are not required. I checked and the administration interface is storing and retrieving the required settings, but they are not changing the user's edit profile screen. Code below including the edit profile page HTML.
From kamalieve.php:
function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data)
{
// Load user_profile plugin language
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang->load('plg_user_kamalieve', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR);
if (!($form instanceof JForm)) {
$this->_subject->setError('JERROR_NOT_A_FORM');
return false;
}
// Check we are manipulating a valid form.
if (!in_array($form->getName(), array('com_users.profile', 'com_users.registration','com_users.user','com_admin.profile'))) {
return true;
}
if ($form->getName()=='com_users.profile')
{
// Add the profile fields to the form.
JForm::addFormPath(dirname(__FILE__).'/profiles');
$form->loadFile('profile', false);
// Toggle whether the API Key ID field is required.
if ($this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid', 1) > 0) {
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyid', 'required', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid') == 2, 'kamalieve');
} else {
//$form->removeField('apikeyid', 'kamalieve');
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyid', 'requiredFound', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyid'), 'kamalieve');
}
// Toggle whether the API Key Verification field is required.
if ($this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyverification', 1) > 0) {
$form->setFieldAttribute('apikeyverification', 'required', $this->params->get('profile-require_apikeyverification') == 2, 'kamalieve');
} else {
$form->removeField('apikeyverification', 'kamalieve');
}
}
Resulting HTML fieldset from the user's "edit profile" page:
<legend>Eve Online</legend>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="control-label">
<label data-original-title="<strong>API Key ID</strong><br />Enter your main character API Key ID" id="jform_kamalieve_apikeyid-lbl" for="jform_kamalieve_apikeyid" class="hasTooltip" title="">API Key ID</label>

I got the same issue and after searching on Google, came across here! The solution is that you need to go Plugin manager -> Your plugin, and then save the form once. For some reason it is not in effect by default.
