Hello,

I am wondering if I can create a 'confirm email' text box.

I get a number of users mistyping their email address - something I do too!

Any ideas how to do this?

Cheers

Hi Richard,

There is not much you can do with that on DNN standard features. But you could use a module like Dynamic Registration and add a "Confirm Email" field. Then you create a validation rule that says "Email = Confirm Email".

This would handle the email validation.

Cheers,

Aderson

Hi Aderson,

thanks for the idea.

I was hoping though to do this perhaps by modifying existing or creating some kind of  custom registration module from source.

I also want to add a company name field.

Cheers

Hi Richard,

I recommend avoiding to touch the core code of DNN as you will lose the ability to upgrade the platform, or at the very least it will complicate things quite a lot during upgrades.

In regards to creating your own module, that is an option, but you need to have a solid foundation of DNN module development. You get that that foundation via our module development videos. Then it is a matter of creating your own module.

At the end of the day I think you would be on a net positive if you go with Dynamic Registration module as you would be saving a lot of time as compared to develop your own module. Besides you could also ad a company name field, although you can also do that with the regular DNN feature set.

Cheers,

Aderson

Hi Aderson,

I manages to add a Company field to Profile, then to registration.

That gave me an idea.

I added another profile field 'ConfirmEmailAddress'

I set the Validation Expression to :

[User:Email]=[Profile:ConfirmEmailAddress]

However the expression seems to evaluate to false even when the fields are the same
