How to...

[filburt1]

Required fields can't be blank at registration. You can set it to blank via the admin CP IIRC though.

Is it possible to configure this in the admin cp, under custom profile fields? There is a maximum input line, would it be possible to add a minumum input line?

Not without hacking. You've come to the right place, though

in register.php it will work somehow similar, but i'll show you how to do in member.php

find that:

PHP Code:

    $varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if ($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="")
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } 


and change to:

PHP Code:

    $varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if (($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="") or ($profilefieldid == 2 and $$varname != "" and strlen($$varname)<5))
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } 


that will disallow all inputs smaller than lenght of 5 except no input

Ok, seems a though I won't have much help in getting this integrated into the admin cp. How about steering me in the right direction so I can call another template if users input less than the required amount of characters.

PHP Code:

$varname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    if ($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="")
    {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_requiredfieldmissing")."\");");
      exit;
    } else if ($profilefieldid == 2 and $$varname != "" and strlen($$varname)<5) {
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_notenoughchars")."\");");
      exit;
} 


now create the new template error_notenoughchars

Thank you Xenon!

[Smoothie]

Does the character limit apply to any? So a user could enter something like *#^@! in the locattion field? Is there a way to make it so it has to be actual letters?

Maybe it's me, but after I add that code in to member.php and then go to my profile, edit, change my location to only 3 characters, it still allows it.
