Hi,
can be displayed with ChronoForms error messages when the user adds information that already exists in the database, For example in case the user adds an email or phone number
[atchment=1]AFxsnV3Hy_c1.png[/attachent]
and if he repeat the registration
[attachent=0]AFxsxerbQ_c.png[/attachmnt]

Thank you for your help

Hi menyarito,

You can do that with Ajax - see this extract from the ChronoForms Book.

Hi GreyHead,

is there another method

Hi menyarito ,

You can do the same with Server Side validation - but that requires the form to be submitted before the checks are run.

Hi GreyHead,

is there a tutorial that can help me reach my goal because I am not an expert in php,
I tried with this code but it did not work

<?php
global $mainframe;
if(JRequest::getVar('email') not exist in database)
return 'Sorry, email already used!';
?

Thank you in advance

Hi menyarito,

I already pointed you to a tutorial for the Ajax approach.

If you search here on ServerSide validation you will find several threads - though I'm not sure that you will be able to use them without more PHP/MySQL knowledge. You may need to get someome to help you with this.
