Hi everyone,

I would like to be able to validate the user entry during the registration process. Is that possible using the default registration method on DNN 7?

For example, I want to ask users their zip code and make sure that the zip code exists on my database.

 

Thanks,

Kathy

you would have to write custom user profile properties if you want to do that (the existing properties support regular expressions, but not database lookup)

You can use the OnyakTech Forms to create your custom user registration with database validation on the Zip code.  To get started quickly, you could just copy the sample user registration form that is included with the module.

 Can you point me on the direction on programming the validation. I created the custom profile property but I'm stuck on being able to write the code for validation.

Thanks

there are many different ways - in DNN probable the easiest is to use the DAL+ (http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-...) and write a query such select * from tablewithzipcodes where zipcode=@zipcode and check if a value is returned or not
