Confirm Email Field

hi,

is it possible if i can add a "Confirm Email" field in the join form just like the "confirm password" in there wherein it will check of the user typed in the email address correctly? if yes, can you tell me how to do it?

thank

of course it is possible.

Go to admin area >> Settings >> Moderation settings

and uncheck Automatic profile confirmation without Confirmation Email

Hi Artur :-)

I think that the question is: Is there possible to ask the future member to enter his/her email address a second time, in a second field, for verification...

This question is far to be stupid as I found many times hotmil or other yhaoo in the rejected email addresses...

yeah, MichelSwiss got my question. can anyone help me?

@MichelSwiss, why do you said it's stupid?

@ feji07

I said that your question is far to be stupid... means not stupid at all ;-)

Sorry if any misunderstanding... I'm a french speaker ;-)

well - you need to create in your DB new field in ProfileFields

Name it Email1

And in check section add this line

if( isset( $_POST[''Email''] ) && strlen( $_POST[''Email''] ) ) { if( process_pass_data( $_POST[''Email''] ) == $arg0 ) return true; else return false; } elseif( isset( $_POST[''Email1''] ) && strlen( $_POST[''Email1''] ) ){ if( process_pass_data( $_POST[''Email1''] ) == $arg0 ) return true; else return false; } else return true;

(it is just like confirm password in 6.0.005 version) :)

thanks ArthurA. i'll try that

@MichelSwiss...i'm not mad or something..^^ i'm just clarifying cause i can't understand but it's ok^^

Hi there Artur A,

I'm a little unsure about the instructions here. The new field is called "Email1" but in your example, your check section uses the code with the field "Password" and "Password1". So should I leave it as it is or do I need to change these to "Email" and "Email1""?

Oh and one more thing...does this work with 6.1.2?

Personally, I think that this would be a great feature for future dolphin releases. If a user enters the wrong email address then it would be really hard to contact them in the future in case they lost their passwords.

Thanks,

Moe
