Answered Login Register custom validator question

Hi chaps, I am trying to use some custom validation to make sure the 'email' and 'confirm_email' fields on my Login Register forms are the same.. seems simple enough... and have followed the example here > https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/login/login.register#Login.Register-CustomValidators but it does not work... Is the example code wrong?

Using the example code, the only way to pass the custom validation is if your matched field includes the exact characters within the ^^ text in the Register code call - I had thought it would be OK to place a field name in their to compare... e.g. equalTo=^email^ - but instead of comparing and checking to make sure the confirm_email field contains the same text as the email field, it wants the confirm_email field to actually contain the characters 'email'!!!??? How can I get it to compare the contents of a field rather than a string? [ed. note: dubbs last edited this post 9 years, 3 months ago.]

Register claims to have the same built-in validators as FormIt. Have you tried this?

&validate=`confirm_email:password_confirm=^email^`

I have... but not as you have written it... e.g. I have tried:



Maybe that's why it didnt work... will try your code snippet...

This works....



But the error when they don't match mentions the work password... any idea where the PHP tpl is so I can update the text?

My guess is that it's a lexicon string. Check in Lexicon Management in the login (or register) namespace.
