Joomla user registration send to DB even if not completed?

I have a joomla registration form that are record to the DB in a custom table. My problem is that even if the form is not completed, each time the submit button is push an incomplete entry is send to the DB.

I like to have those records to be sent to the DB only on fully successfull submit.

Hi Chacapamac ,

Then you need to add validation. Probably both in the browser and serverside.

I have already JS Validation On

What can I do more?

Hi Chacapamac ,

And you have set it on the form elements validation tabs too?

And the serverside validation?

Bob

This is my first experience with Chrono and I trying to learn how it work...

You said —>

1— And you have set it on the form elements validation tabs too?
2— And the serverside validation?

1— And you have set it on the form elements validation tabs too?

Note : I add

<?php
$uri =& JFactory::getURI();
if ( $uri->getVar('tmpl') != 'component' ) {
  $uri->setVar('tmpl', 'component');
  $mainframe->redirect($uri->toString());
}
?>

to the code to be able to separate the form from the template as it show in a lightbox.

I remove this code and turn it back to Wizard to revisit my elements.

Note: this is a Joomla registration

Custom Element = an Image

Note: I’m a litle confuse here if I should put the elements that belong to the registration itself (Name, Username, email, password) required or not?

Votre Nom (Name) = Validation Required

Choisir un nom d’usager (Username) = Validation Required

Adresse courriel (Email) = Validation Required + Email

Entrer un mot de passe (Password) = Validation Required

Vérifier le mot de passe (Repeat Password) = Validation Required

Sélectionnez votre groupe (Custom Field) = Validation Required

Nom de votre organisation (Custom Field) = No validation


This is my events:

2— I don’t understand what to do for the “Server Side Validation”????

OK SOLVED !

The problem was the order of my events.

I move the Send to DB action under the Registration

No more partial entries in the DB. If the Submit button is pushed and the form not validate nothing is send to db...


FOR THE FOLLOWING I CAN OPEN A NEW POST IF YOU WANT?


I’m still puzzled by your comments:

And you have set it on the form elements validation tabs too?

And the serverside validation?

My question remain —>
Should I put the elements that belong to the registration itself (Name, Username, email, password) required or not?

My confusion come from the fact that Joomla registration minimum fields are always required and I don’t want to have some kind of double validation???

My other question will be —> I need to understand how to validate forms and when and what to use (Chrono Elements validation and what you mean and how to use Server side validation.


Thanks ! 😀

Hi Chacapamac,

Click the spanner icon on the elements in the Preview window and you will see the Configuration dialogue. Click the Validation tab and check the boxes for the validations you need.

Yes, Joomla! will check the field required for the registration but only after the form is submitted. It will give a better user experience if you validate these inputs before the form is submitted.

Bob

Thanks Understood. Solved
