Hi,

I know this is an old post. But I also have the same issue. I need help on how to send email verification to verify.
I'm using chronoforms5 in joomla 3.

Where do I add the verify tinyint default 0? Is it in the Create Table? Then how do I add it in the Setup?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi mojdafeesh,

You posted a Joomla! question in a WordPress thread so I've split this out to a new thread.

You can set the Registration action to send the Joomla! verification email - does this not do what you need?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for replying and my apologies for posting in the wrong thread.

Anyway, what we actually need is just a custom form where we just basically need to collect the user information first, then after they submit it we need to send them an email verification link to verify and then we want to be notified once they verified they're email after that we will contact them.


Thanks again! 🙂

Hi mojdafeesh,

What I would do is to save the results in a DB table including an empty status column and a unique identifier - that could be the record ID but I prefer a random string. Then add that string to a URL linked back to a form event e.g. ...&chronoform=inquiry&event=verify&uid=XXXX Include that URL in the email.

Add a new 'verify' event to your form and add a Custom Code action to check the uid is valid and update the record status to 'verified'

We will give this a try.
