Hi all,

is it possible to have a ‘confirm email’ field much like the confirm password field or will I need to set up some client side validation?

Yeah, currently not available, but you can use Javascript instead… sorry

Added as a feature request though

Cheers

Just a +1 on this feature request from me. I setup javascript validation, but it seems that the people most likely to enter their email address incorrectly are the people that don’t have javascript!

I’d also love to see this feature added – not as a form of validation (as Kelsey is interpreting the request), but as an optionally added step in the registration process (an alternative to using a captcha).

- On User :: Register submission, user is taken to a template telling them to check their email
- Confirmation email is sent, with a link to activate their account
- Upon clicking the activation link, the actual account is created, and the user is taken to whatever template would currently be specified with User :: Register’s return= param.

My apologies for being such a n00b here… I wasn’t aware that EE already has this basic functionality built-in.

Indeed

And to think I rebuilt Super Search just to accommodate your silly software. For SHAME!
