I followed the tutorial on a new Joomla Registration page - works well. But have a question about form errors.

1. I have a password check and email check - they work:

<?php
global $mainframe;
if ( JRequest::getVar('password') != JRequest::getVar('passwordconfirm') )
return 'Sorry, your passwords do not match, please try again!';

if ( JRequest::getVar('email_address') != JRequest::getVar('email_address2') )
return 'Sorry, your email verification does not match, please try again!';
?>

But if one of these is wrong you get your error message (as you should) but the form completely resets itself and you have to fill everything back in. Is there a way to not have this happen? That is a bit of a pain for my users to have to redo everything!

Thanks.

Hi msreayes,

Please turn on 'Try to Republish' - on the AntiSpam tab I think.

Tried that, no luck😟

Hi msreyes,

Can you post a link to the form please?

Bob

Let me look into that.

Hi msreyes,

in case you have any JS errors in this page then this may not work as expected!

Hi msreyes,

Thanks for the link - the page is loading two different versions of MooTools and JQuery so I doubt that any JavaScript will work reliably. The MooTools and JQuery libraries cannot reliably be used together.
