Double e-mail box in registration form

[tojag]

People often give wrong e-mail address during registration. I have tens inactive accounts because the e-mail address is wrong (eg. typo) and people do not get activation e-mail. I suggest to double e-mail address field in registration form in future. Maybe is that possibility now?
Best regards

Someone has a similar problem? The fact is that many email addresses are typed with an error, and new users can not activate their account because they have not received an activation link.
Double address field would be the solution to the problem.

Unfortunately there don't seem to be any events in the template file where one can place the confirm email in a correct location.

Would be a bit out of place in another location I would think and not look good.

What about ucp_register_credentials_after

[RMcGirr83]

Displays after the password confirmation box, not directly underneath the email address input area.

then hardcoded?

Then it isn't an extension, is it.

Yes, then it's a [Snippet]

You could use jquery after() to assign a new attribute until phpbb adds an event in that template.

example:

Code: Select all

$(function() {
	var $form = $('#register');
	var email_confirm = $('<input/>').attr({ 
		type: 'email', 
		size: 25, 
		maxlength: 100,
		id: 'email_confirm', 
		name: 'email_confirm',
		class: 'inputbox autowidth',
	});
	$form.find('input[type=email][name=email]').after(email_confirm);
});

For modern browsers you can use flexbox to reorder elements.

Use the template event ucp_register_credentials_before to add the email confirmation field:

Code: Select all

<dl class="email_confirm_container">
	<dt><label for="email_confirm">{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CONFIRM}{L_COLON}</label></dt>
	<dd><input type="email" tabindex="2" name="email_confirm" id="email_confirm" size="25" maxlength="100" value="{EMAIL}" class="inputbox autowidth" title="{L_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CONFIRM}" autocomplete="off" /></dd>
</dl>

Add some CSS to move it below the first email field:

Code: Select all

#register .fields2 {
	display: flex;
	flex-direction: column;
}

#register .fields2 .email_confirm_container + dl {
	order: 1;
}

#register .fields2 .email_confirm_container + dl + dl {
	order: 2;
}

#register .fields2 .email_confirm_container {
	order: 3;
}

#register .fields2 * {
	order: 4;
}

The only downside is that the order is wrong if there's another extension enabled that uses the same template event to add other registration fields. In browsers that don't support flexbox like IE 9 and earlier, Steve's solution could be used as a fallback.

Wow! Interesting discussion.
This one seems ok http://forum.atnel.pl/ucp.php?mode=register
But I don't know how to achieve this effect.

You could ask them.

I did it today and i am waiting for the answer.

How times change - back with 3.0 and before the registration always had a email address confirmation textbox, and some people ranted about how antiquated that concept was.
