booking form option – confirm email

[Daniel Cooksey]

Hi
Is there an option to confirm email address in the booking form where the customer enters their email address twice and a check is made ?
Thanks
Daniel

Not by default, but you could add an additional e-mail field

Let’s suppose you gave that field the id _email2, then you can add a validation check as follows:

function my_validate_email_match( $form ){

    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
          return;
    }

    $email = $form->get_element( 'email' )->get_value();    
    $email2 = $form->get_element( '_email2' )->get_value();

     if ( $email !== $email2 ) {
          $form->get_element( '_email2' )->add_error( 'email-mismatch', "Sorry, your e-mail does not match" );
     }

}
add_action( 'eventorganiser_validate_booking_form_submission', 'my_validate_email_match', 10 );

That’s perfect. Unfortunately it throws the booking form error I mentioned in another thread, even when the email addresses match, and which I have confirmed is related to the theme I am using.

It doesn’t seem to be working. I get the error message all the time. It looks pretty straightforward but my knowledge of PHP is not enough to figure out what is wrong

What’s the code you’ve used to add the e-mail field to the form?

[Daniel Cooksey]

function my_add_element( $form, $event_id ){    
//Create element to add to the field
$element = EO_Booking_Form_Element_Factory::create( array(
     'type'     => 'email',
     'id'       => '_email2', //a unique ID
     'required' => 0, //make this field optional
     'label'    => 'Confirm Email'
));
  //Add the field element, optionally specify where
$form->add_element( $element, array( 'at' => 4 ) );
 }
add_action( 'eventorganiser_get_event_booking_form', 'my_add_element', 10, 2 );

Sorry Daniel, it was a typo in the code I posted (since corrected). It should have been:

    $email = $form->get_element( 'email' )->get_value();    
    $email2 = $form->get_element( '_email2' )->get_value();

not

    $email = $form->get_element( 'email' );    
    $email2 = $form->get_element( '_email2' );

OK it works now for a match but for a mismatch I get the error “Call to a member function add_error() on a non-object “.

So I changed

$email2->add_error( 'email-mismatch', "Sorry, your e-mail does not match" );

to

$form->get_element( '_email2' )->add_error( 'email-mismatch', "Sorry, your e-mail does not match" );

and now it is working

[Stephen Harris]

Sorry about that Daniel. Thanks for posting the correction. I’ve now updated my original post.
