hooking registration

[oarecare]

I'm trying to add some advanced validation fields in registration form, but apparently they are checked after the user has been entered to the database

Can anyone paste a snippet of hookCreateAccount that will return the errors and not add the user to the db?

 

TIA

No news?

All i want is a module-based server-side validatable field in the registration form, which, if not valid, doesn't allow the the user to be added to the db

hi,

 

I do not think that there are people who will write all solution to you

 

But you might try to use this kind of error handling:

 

$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Invalid e-mail address');

 

I am not sure if it works right especially with $this, but it's worth trying.

 

And the hook is executed in AuthController.php line 187.

 

EDIT: in addition, the values of form fields are checked before adding to the databse in createAccount hook, so there might be errors in your code.

I tried. Apparently, according to nethercott, the hook is "Used to run code after a new customer account has been created."

 

I'll need to either:

- create another hook in the validation, prior to the 'createAccount' hook (which i don't think can be done from a module)

- add some fancy ajax to stop the form from being submitted, thus interfering with the look and feel of presta

i concur that you will need to do some customization. you could override the controller and just add the new the new hook in the correct place.

 

Then create the module that does what you require when the hook is triggered.
