Hi,

I would like to use a form on my website with double opt-in to validate mail addresses.
Is there any chance to achieve this with ChronoForms v5?

Could anyone please assist and give me a hand how to do it?

Thanks in advance

Best,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
​
You mean email confirmation ? how do you expect the form to work ?
​
Best regards

Just use v6!

Is this a feature in v6?
​
I have a license for v5, do I have to purchase for v6 again?
How can I update?
​
Thanks in advance!

It's not a "feature" it's a thing you can set up if you know a little of what you're doing or if you follow the user registration demo form.
​
You would need to purchase a new licence, because V6 is completely different, way more powerful, and a lot easier to use.

Hmm....but if I have to implement by myself, why should I purchase a new version?
​
If it's not a feature, I can implement on my own using v5, too.

Cool beans. I can't help you with v5 though, so if you need help you'll have to wait for Max or Bob to respond.

Thank you anyway!

Hi Steffen,
​
If you have a v5 key for a specific domain then it should work fine on v6, but you will need to rebuild most of your form again.
​
I'm still not sure how do you expect the feature to work exactly ?
​
Best regards

Hi,
​
I will stay on v5 for now...I don't want to rebuild my forms.
​
What I will do now manually is this:
1. A user fills the form and everything will be saved in a database
2. A random key will be generated and saved into the database, too
3. A mail is send to the user with a link where this random key is included
4. The user clicks the link and comes to another form which checks the key and sets the value of the key to 1 in the database
5. The date when the user clicked the link is also saved in the database
​
I think that should do it. What do you think?
