Until now I used chronoforms 5, with the Unique ID [GH] . But it does not working anymore.
For this reason I installed on my localhost chronoforms 6 and created step by step the form with regex and other things without problems. It's a great component.
But I have no idea how to verify (confirm) the email-address.
Do you have a solution for me?
Best regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
If you want to confirm the email using a second input then you can use the Matches box on the Validation tab of one of the elements.
If you want to confirm the email by sending a link to be clicked then I would save the record with an 'unconfirmed' status and a column with a unique random string; then send an email with a confirmation url including the string. Lastly use a separate form or form event in the link url to capture the response, check it is valid and update the record status.

Hi GreyHead,
thank you for your reply. Can you give me a step by step instruction? I have no clue, how can I do that.

Hi GreyHead,
sending an email back to the sender, to confirm the e-mail adress. After confirming the email will be sent to me.

Hi Ingrid,
+ Add two columns to your database table called say 'status' and 'link_id'
+ In the on submit event set the value of 'status' to 'unconfirmed' and of 'link_id' to a unique string (check the manual for both of these)
+ Add a new form event called 'confirm'
+ In the email add a confirmation link including ...&event=confirm&link_id={data:link_id}
+ In the new form event add a Read Data action to check if the link_id is valid. If it is set the 'status' to confirmed with a Save Data

Hello Greyhead,
I tried to follow your instruction but I think I don't understand it well.
In the manual I found some explanations, but I cannot implement it.
Can you please have a look on mitgliedsantrag-2? Have done some things, but it does not work.
Regards

Hi Ingrid,
I took a quick look and saw that in the Custom Code to create the link in the email there is no domain name - it needs to be a full URL to be clickable.
Also in the On verify event you have Custom code that is updating the database table without any previous check to see if there is a matching record.
This will work with the cf_id as the value as you have it; but it would be more secure if you used a random string as the verifier code (as Joomla does). You coudl do this in addition to the cf_id and then check that the two values match up.
