Required fields not validating

I am building a site and adding two custom fields, one is required the other isn’t. The one that is required is for Terms and Conditions.

When someone goes to register (http://www.clubsofthevillages.com/register/) It is letting them register without completing any of the required fields (I also have first name and last name selected in s2member). I’m not even getting a javascript popup or anything when I submit the form without the custom fields.

Someone had mentioned somewhere that there was a hack to fix this but I am unable to find that either. Any help anyone could give would be appreciated.

Hello Anthony,

Does your browser have JavaScript enabled? If it doesn’t then this won’t work, since it requires JavaScript to check if the fields are checked.

Also, you added the terms and conditions following this article?:

I have Javascript Enabled. All the other scripting on my site works.

On the terms I just set it up as a required checkbox with a tag around the words “Terms and Conditions” so they could be clicked on and someone could still select/deselct the checkbox.

I ended up just modifying my functions file to make the fields required when they are being processed.

It’s not ideal but it works for what I need. Maybe this will help someone else as well:

// Validate First name, Last name, and that user has checked the terms box upon registration
function myplugin_check_fields($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {

if ( ! preg_match(‘/^[a-zA-Z\d]+$/’, $_POST[‘ws_plugin__s2member_custom_reg_field_first_name’]) )
$errors->add( ‘first_name_error’, __(‘ERROR: Please enter a valid first name.’,’mydomain’) );

if ( ! preg_match(‘/^[a-zA-Z\d]+$/’, $_POST[‘ws_plugin__s2member_custom_reg_field_last_name’]) )
$errors->add( ‘last_name_error’, __(‘ERROR: Please enter a valid last name.’,’mydomain’) );

if ($_POST[‘ws_plugin__s2member_custom_reg_field_terms’] != “1”)
$errors->add( ‘terms_error’, __(‘ERROR: You must accept the Terms and Conditions.’,’mydomain’) );

return $errors;
}

add_filter(‘registration_errors’, ‘myplugin_check_fields’, 10, 3);

Hi Anthony.

Thanks for sharing your hack.

Regarding the form I see in your page, it doesn’t look like a pro-form. Are you using a custom one? I see in the source code a div that mentions Theme My Login in the ID.

I added the Theme my Login after I wasn’t able to get this working the other day. It added some additional functionality I needed and I couldn’t get the validation working with s2member so I added the custom hack and the Theme my Login script.

Ah ok, thanks for the update. :)
