[Resolved] Registration validation for "if ANY errors"?

    I’m using BP 2.0 and I’m looking for a way to check if there were ANY errors of any kind during sign-up, so that I may print specific content at the top of the page.

    Currently, the user has to scroll down to each individual field and find the error labels. Which, apparently, despite being bright red, can be missed.

    I want to modify the heading to make the situation more clear.

    Also, why does Birthday field reset when there are errors? My users are fixing the field-in-question but not noticing that Birthday is being reset, which, since it is required on our site, sends them once again back to the top of the registration form.

    Understandably frustrating. Any pointers?

    cliff notes on these questions:

    • Why does the <select> options for birthdays reset when reg form is submitted with errors
    • Is there a conditional check available on registration load to see if form is being re-rendered due to errors.

    anyone?

    I’ve resorted to a javascript solution which checks for the existence of “error” divs within my registration form and modifies the HTML of the headline above the form, if necessary.

    Note: this code is specific for my registration form, which uses .six .columns grid framework and a short vs. extendable registration experience, depending on how much time the user feels like spending on optional fields from extra field groups. Anyway:

    if (jQuery('.row .six div.error').html()) {
    		jQuery('h2.article-title').html('Wait! Something needs fixing, below.');
    		jQuery('p.lead').html('There is at least one error marked below. We\'ve expanded the form to help you find them.');
    		jQuery('.extended').fadeIn(1000);
  		}

    It seems there should be some more practical/server-side method for this.

    Still looking for answers/help on the birthday thing! 🙂

    It’s actually only the Month and Year that reset, which makes this more confusing.

    none of the other <select>-driven options reset either

    Try inserting this or something similar) at the appropriate point in register.php ….

    			
<?php if (!( 'completed-confirmation' == bp_get_current_signup_step() )) {
echo '<p><strong>There was an error - check below to correct any error and resubmit the form.</strong></p>'; 
}?>

    @ircsome will try it – but seems like that would eval TRUE on every registration page load (including initial visit)

    you are correct … but it’s the best option I’ve come up with so far 🙂

    add a step parameter to the action?

    eg action=”/register/?r=submitted”

    🙂
