Multi-Page Joomla Registration: Validation returns to Page 1

mapme 08 Nov, 2012
Hi,

I have integrated a Joomla registration form that links with Community builder to allow me to gather a lot of user details at signup. It is a 3-page Chronoform and is working very well when users fill it out correctly.

The user fills out the basic Joomla info on Page of the form: name, username, email and password. They press a Submit button to bring them to Page 2 and then Page 3 to add in the additional information.

On the final page when a user presses submit the form validates against the typical Joomla rules: duplicate passwords differ, username already taken, email already taken, etc. the problem is that the form reverts to Page 1, and the user must start over again!

Is there a way to add the Joomla validation on Page 1 of the form when the first Submit button is pressed? To confirm... the Submit button on Page One simply loads the next stage of the multi-part Chronoform and is not completing registration.

Thanks!

Hi Brendan,

I'm travelling this week and replying from memory.

I'm sure that you can do this; but I can't remember the exact mechanics. I think that you can set the Multi page action to go to on On Submit event instead of the next On Load one.

PS personally I'd check most of those things with JavaScript before the firm is submitted.

Hi Bob,

Many thanks for the reply... just seeing this now as I had not requested email notifications on the thread!

Cheers,
