How Do I Validate Input Data, In Custome Fields
 

Hi there,

I'm trying to add some custom fields the profile fields & I want to validate it's inputs, so for instance, let's say I want to add a mobile phone number field, & I want to ensure that the one who submit the mobile number can't insert any data type except numbers

any idea??

You can use regex to validate the input.

This is exactly what I'm looking for, I don't know how to use the regular expression function within an integrated script,
where to use it??
where should I write my validation code?? in template??
or I should in vbulletin files??
or in some hooks places vbulletin provided them???

There is a place to add it in the profile field setup. ;)

Are you serious, I can put any validation pattern in the custom field setup??? How?

Regular Expression (under Show on Member's List).

--------------- Added [DATE]1281918683[/DATE] at [TIME]1281918683[/TIME] ---------------

Try this for the regex:


It will have to look like this to pass:

I thought you're fooling around with me, because I was writing to you via my mobile phone, but when I get home back I checked my admincp & I found the pattern input field

Thanks a lot

No problem. ;)
