Compare email addresses for validation

Dear Aicha,

I'm ever so pleased with Visforms!

Here is a suggestion:
Would it be possible to add the following to the form validations:
Check that "email address" and "repeat email address" contain the same email addresses?

Hope to hear from you!
Regards
Irene

Hi Irene,

I will implement that feature but I cannot say exactly when. I have so many good feature requests on my list and only limited time.

Take a look at that post
www.vi-solutions.de/en/forum-index/17-jo...assword-confirmation
You would have to use f_email_validate_equalTo and the id of the email which contains the original email you want to compare with as the numeric part in #field. One drawback, I think when you edit the field in backend the changes you made in the database will be lost.

Another option would be to create an template override of the default.php that creates the frontend view. (It's basically explained in www.vi-solutions.de/en/forum-index/19-jo...logged-in-users-only how to do that). You have to add a rule to the validator than. Search the file (the copied default.php) for "var validator". A little bit further in the code you find a closing curly bracket } and in the next line a comment //recaptcha code...

Just insert the following code after the closing curly bracket

You have to replace "email2" with the value of the name attribute of the second email input (which is actually the value you used as input for the "Name" in the field definition) and #field3 with the value of the id attribute of the first email input. (which is the string "#field" and the id of the form field, which you can find in the field definition in backend as well).

As you type in the validation rule "hard-coded" with actual name attribute and id attribute values, this validation will be performed on all forms, but if you make sure you to not use the same field name (in my case email2) in any other form, that should have not consequences, because the rule is only performed for fields with name attribute value "email2".

If you need further information or help, don't hesitate to ask!

Dear Aicha,

I cant get it to work. Wrong directories, maybe?
Here's the url:
denieuweakker.nl/DNA2014Joomla/index.php...uin/deelnemer-worden

I added the following code in DNA2014Joomla/templates/denieuweakker/com_visforms/visforms/default.php:
echo '"emailherhaling" : {equalTo : "#field42"},';

Here:
<?php
}
//recaptcha code comes from google api. Because we use the joomla recaptcha plugin we cannot change much field attribute values... and have to include a rule for the captcha
if (isset($this->visforms->captcha) && ($this->visforms->captcha == 2))
{
echo 'recaptcha_response_field : { required : true},';
}
echo '"emailherhaling" : {equalTo : "#field42"},';
?>
But nothing happens when I enter two different emailadresses.
Could you help me out?
Very much appreciated!

Hi Irene,

you have missed a folder in your path.
You have to create a folder named html inside the denieuweakker folder.
The com_visforms folder goes inside that html folder, so the correct path would be:

DNA2014Joomla/templates/denieuweakker/html/com_visforms/visforms/default.php

The code itself looks ok, but it is difficult to read all ' and " and ; in a forums post, so it it still don't work after you fixed the path, please let me know.

Regards,
Aicha

YES!
I'm ever so pleased!

And now for something I'll look into myself first.
"Message succesfully sent" is not presented in a separate modal but in another modal that opens with a button on same page.
I use extention "nonumber modals".
Fascinating!
I'll let you know what I'll find out. I might need your help again
Workaround: I can deactivate these buttons on the pages with a form!

But in the meantime: thanks ever so much!!!

Irene (Lenneke)

I'm opening a new item for the nonumber modal problem
