Hi guys,

I’m not sure if others are a bit annoyed at the way the standard BP sign up form will strip away ALL entered data from a BP sign up form if a user gets just ONE field wrong but I’m having a few complaints as my form captures many custom fields on sign up.

is there any way to install some kind of client side validation before a user can actually hit submit, or a way for the form to simply keep the fields that are okay populated, just stripping the wrongly filled out ones?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Either with javascript or HTML5 validation. Or, you can make a patch for core to help improve this there

@DJPaul Hey Paul!

Cheers mate, thought so!

I’m going to pay a developer to do this tomorrow and I’ll gladly hand over the code so that you can use it in the BP core for a future release. I think it’s uber important to make the sign up procedure as easy as possible and client side validation along with a decent captcha would really help.

@rossagrant, that’d be pretty generous of you. Thanks
