[opus]

This is my first attempt at a mod.  So be kind  <grin>

Email Validate v0.2

- Added support for checking MSN email addresses

Simply adds checking for @ and . in an email address during registration and when a member updates his/her profile.

Three files are changed english.lng, Register.php and Profile.php.

Hey this is a nifty ideal! Thanks a bunch! question.. msn users tend to enter in thier msn names without the @mailaddress.com in the msn under profile. .I tried to place your string under the msn input field. Great ideal but I need to have it check the user input for strings, and if it finds none to skip the error processs. Can you help with this tweak???

        $member['msn'] = str_replace(" ","+",$member['msn']);

// My Atempts to control the msn flaw
//   if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $member['msn'])) {fatal_error("$member[user] $txt[555]"); }

I will look at it in the morning.  I am sure it would not be difficult to add.   Maybe I can find a way to check for msn.com or hotmail.com while it is at it.

[Wiziwig]

checking for specific @mail's would not be good. My msn account uses my yahoo mail address. It'll be great to just check to make sure they've put somekind of @mailaddress.com on the profile.. And when it errors and they click back, the rest of the profile information should be preserved..

[opus]

I see.    I didn't know that you could use something besides msn or hotmail for a MSN account.  I don't even have a computer with windows on it (give me a mac or a *nix box anyday)  Like I said I will look closer at the code in the AM.  my eyes are starting to cross tonight.

[opus]

Ok.. the msn update has been made. Give it a try and let me know.  The mod file has been updated too.

[Wiziwig]

Great job and THANK YOU! Your mod has some odd (unix?? mac??) characters along the last few lines..  For the rest of us messy dos people it's:

   if ($member['msn'] != '')  { if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $member['msn'])) {fatal_error("$member[user] $txt[msn1]"); } }

Thank you very much!

What ever they were it has been fixed now.

[opus]

All done!  Time to start on a new mod  

[da dude]

there's a add after missing in the mod file  
says boardmod

[opus]

What ever I managed to do with the mod file I have fixed.  (and retested)  download the new one at the above link.

If this mod worked correctly you wouldn't need to validate email address structure, it would validate if the person registering is enter their own email address, not a fake one like [email protected].

I don't see why they can't both be used.  I wrote this mostly because I was tired for getting bounced mail from people they don't know the difference between an email address and a screen name.  At least this way it makes them enter something that could be real.  I have not gotten one bounced mail since adding it.

[Wiziwig]

With the problems they are having with that other mod, I refrain from using it for 1.4.1, ,

It would be nice if that mod project was validated and a closure was made to it's progress.
