Add an extra email address field on registration form

PuroPlacer · #1 03-20-2007, 05:38 AM

Has anyone added an extra email address field on the registration form? This is for making sure the email addresses entered are the same. The second field should check against the first one and then validate.

Can anyone help?

Here's a quick way of doing it, though not strictly validated (v4.1.x) ...

skin1/main/register_contact_info.tpl

after...

Code:

 
{if $default_fields.email.avail eq 'Y'}

add...

Code:

 
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function check_email(){
 var theForm = document.forms['registerform'];
 var errMsg = "";
 var setfocus = "";
 if (theForm['email2'].value != theForm['email'].value){
  errMsg = "E-Mail confirmation does not match!";
  setfocus = "['email2']";
 }
 if (errMsg != ""){
  alert(errMsg);
  eval("theForm" + setfocus + ".focus()");
 }
}
</script>
{/literal}

Then after,

Code:

 
<tr>
<td align="right">{$lng.lbl_email}</td>
<td>{if $default_fields.email.required eq 'Y'}<font class="Star">*</font>{else}&nbsp;{/if}</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" size="32" maxlength="128" value="{$userinfo.email}" />
{if $emailerror ne "" or ($reg_error ne "" and $userinfo.email eq "" and $default_fields.email.required eq 'Y')}<font class="Star">&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}
</td>
</tr>

and before {/if}

add...

Code:

 
<tr>
<td align="right">Confirm {$lng.lbl_email}</td>
<td><font class="Star">*</font></td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input type="text" id="email2" name="email2" size="32" maxlength="128" value="" onBlur="check_email();" />
</td>
</tr>

I just wanted to say thank you to PhilJ for this very useful piece of code. Well done and thank you once again.

Thanks for that code. That helps stop people inputting the wrong email address, which they do all the time, then want to rant when they don't get their emails

I love this script! HOWEVER....

Mac/Safari (2.0.4) - if the email doesn't match, the popup box becomes a "dialog box from hell" and will not go away until it is clicked at least 3 or 4 times.

No issues in Firefox (mac or win) or IE 6 or 7. The problem only occurs in Safari/mac.

Anyone know a workaround? Does anyone have a "better" javascript code that is newer/better/friendlier?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Works great in 4.1.9

I see what you mean about the crazy dialog box...you just have to fix it first and then you can move on. It would be nice if safari allowed for you to scroll the screen at least before fixing your email.
