registration image on register,php image goes not refresh

[Frank H. Shaw]

I do not understand the profile field not required but display at registration - what does this mean - How does the registartion process use profile fields?

Field Required: No, but display at registration

Field Editable by User: Only at registration

Private Field: Yes

Now I have created in the past some profile fields - in this case I want to force the registration system to not proceed with out the correct answer so how would I force this to happen.

Please explain THANKS

I have never used that sort of profile field, so I really can't go in to any detail regarding it. From the description, it's a field that may only be used/answered at registration, after that the user will never see it again. The best thing to do is to try it and see.

I understand that the field is only avaiable durn registeration - but my question pertains to this how does one not only make the field required which acording to the wording in the following Field Required: No, but display at registration you would flip the No to a Yes - but I need to go one step further and that is to take the value in the field look at what is type for a answer to a question if answer is correct move on and allow the script to process the registration but if the answer is wrong throw a error like if the user type the wrong text string in the image verification.

But where do i put the required code / script to make this happen.

Better said where should i make the hook so as not to cause problems in the registration system.

May hook needs to somehow work with the new profile field I have setup so that the field and the text type must be the correct answer. How do I attach my script to the profile field.

These are the settings are exactly what you said they should be - so the only thing i need to ask is the following - Regular Expression You may require the input field to match a regular expression.

Please explain if I wanted to vaildatate a peice of text type in by user it is my guess i can set it here - for example if the answer to my question i ask is Truth so what type of regular expression will cause this to be only allowable answer to be typed in the field and the case matters Cap on the T and rest lower case only.

Or the regular expression will not work and i need to write some script to do the valadation ?

I my case the field needs to be after the password field and email field but before image verfication - I have no problem creating a new field in the profile but how do i get this field to show up where i want it to?

I have still not had the last question answered - about the regular expression or creating a vaildation script the answer to my question. Which is the best way to do this type of thing.

I can't answer any of those questions regarding the extra question. I'm unfamiliar with using that method to stop bot registrations since I use other methods. As for regular expressions, right under that input field title, it says:
You may require the input field to match a regular expression (PCRE).

Click on the link and look at the examples and you'll learn a bit about them. Or google it. I am not good at writing them, so you'll have to have someone else help with that.

Change the folowing:

Yes required field at regerstration and updating profile

and then had to set the next field to only at registration

This seems right

Then wrote the following reg exp

The regular exp was set to this ^[S-U][q-s][t-v][s-u][g-i] to only allow the word Truth

This should work I will start testing these settings and see

I see that at the point that I have the user press the Complete Registration button at the bottom of the form - would have been a over kill.

Additional Required Information (profile)

This works as far as placement is in a special section - When I type the value in to the field and press the enter key the reg exp does reject a bad answer.

This is the reg exp I used

^[S-U][q-s][t-v][s-u][g-i]

The answer is Truth and needs to be correct first letter cap rest lower case.

I type the answer see and press enter and ever thing tests out fine
