We have a custom post type resembling a membership set-up.
When a member registers a profile we need the system to verify the email address is unique in the CPT. We do have a separate email field in the CPT.
The current setup is as follows:
user registers as a WordPress user. After this, they then complete it as part of their profile cred form. the cred form has two fields of interest. The one is membership type and the other is directory entry.
There is also an email field in the CPT. We need to enforce the single use of an email address in the profile. The email field must verify that the same email is not used. We need this check done on the first entry of the email as well as a change of email address.
There are two different forms the one is an add email and the one is an edit form.
Here is the function code that t is not working. any advice would be appreciated
add_filter('cred_form_validate','func_validate_email',10,2);
function func_validate_email($error_fields, $form_data){
//field data are field values and errors
list($fields,$errors)=$error_fields;
if ($form_data['id']==1440){
$args = array(
'meta_query' => array(
array('key' => 'wpcf-email',
'value' => $_POST['wpcf-email']
)),
'post_type' => 'custom-post-type',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$posts = get_posts($args);
//check if email value is already on the database
if (count($posts) > 0){
//set error message for my_field
$errors['wpcf-email']='This E-mail already registered.';
}
}
return array($fields,$errors);
}
The HTML code of the form where we this done is below:
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Do you mean that you want to compare the email that user registered with user registration form and check against the custom post type profile custom field email?
No, i actually want to compare the emails added or changed via a post form to the current email in the Custom Post type. In other words, I want to prevent duplicate entries of emails in the Custom post type field called Email.
Can you please share problem URL where you added the form and admin access details as well as one user profile access details.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
Here is the login information as requested. Please note this is a live site. If you do need to make any changes activate the under maintenance function.
There are a few places I need it to activate.
the first one is
toolset post form
New Editors Form Step 1 id 1391
the second one is
Update Editors Profile Step 03 id 1440
Regards
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
New Editors Form Step 1 id 1391
is on the page hidden link
The Update Editors Profile Step 03 id 1440
is on the page hidden link
I however do need to point out that The profile completeness page and the add new member profile pages are both multipage forms. The first one the email field is visible from scratch,
the second one you will not be able to access the forms on the page due to the fact that a profile has not yet been created for the toolsetadmin user. On that page, the mail field is available on the third screen.
You may need to create a profile with the hidden link page so that the profile completeness page will render.
Dont worry about the entry in the profile custom post type we will do a clean up once this matter has been resolved
Unfortunately the admin access details you shared is not working at this end.
1) Can you please send e working admin access details.
2) A new user access details who is register and for which I can create a new profile hidden link
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
Toolset offers the place where you can add your custom code at: Toolset => Settings => Custom Code tab
I've moved the filter code from functions.php file to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> hidden link
add_filter('cred_form_validate','func_validate_email',10,2);
function func_validate_email($error_fields, $form_data){
//field data are field values and errors
list($fields,$errors)=$error_fields;
if ($form_data['id']==1391 or $form_data['id']==1440){
$args = array(
'meta_query' => array(
array('key' => 'wpcf-email',
'value' => $_POST['wpcf-email']
)),
'post_type' => 'editor-profile',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$posts = get_posts($args);
//check if birthday value is already on the database
if (count($posts) > 0){
//set error message for my_field
$errors['wpcf-email']='This E-mail already registered.';
}
}
return array($fields,$errors);
}
Can you please confirm it works as expected?
