Hi,

I want to have 2 custom email fields so the user would be able to enter their email twice so I can verify they did not make a mistake and that both of those fields matches. How can I do this with the Toolset Forms plugin.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim

I would add a second, generic, email field for users to confirm their email address.

You can then either use JavaScript (or jQuery) for some client-side validation, or you could use the cred_form_validate hook for server-side validation after the form has submitted, though that's a less satisfactory experience for users.

It needs a little thought as to how best to apply the validation, probably when the second email field loses focus (enlace oculto).

Note with generic fields they are simply discarded after the form submission is completed, which is what you would want in this case anyway.
