Phillip, the only thing I can think of would be a conflict with some other plugin that was trying to save data to those fields. But I’d be happy to take a look if you will email a login to your system. My email it mike{AT}mikevanwinkle.com.

WOW! Thanks for this plugin. I’ve successfully added several fields assigning post variables, userdata variables and the form variables. However some of the data is being pushed to the database while others are not.
First Name
Last Name
Business Name
Zip Code are not being saved
While:
User name
address
city
state
Website
password
all are being saved.
I duplicated the process for all additional fields.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

Hi Mike,
Thanks for that. I suspected this would need jquery which I don’t know. I’ll have a go anyway and see how I get on. Out of interest, how much would you charge for this ?

Sorry Ian, you'll need to know some jQuery here. Here's a general model for you but there are a lot of contingencies. I'm happy to handle it for you for a fee. Cheers,

jQuery(function() {
   jQuery('#OTHERFIELD').hide();
   jQuery('#SELECTFIELD').change(function() {
      var value = jQuery(this).val();
      if(value == 'Other') {
         jQuery('#OTHERFIELD').slideToggle();
      }
   });
});

Thanks Mike, works a treat. All I need to do now is be able to hide the ‘Other’ field unless ‘Other (please specify)’ is selected. Any pointers on this ?

Ian, you'll need to know a bit of PHP to make this happen but it is definitely possible. You should check out the article on "Custom Validation" here. Your function would look something like this:


function custom_reg_validation($errors) {
   if( isset($_POST['field_1']) AND $_POST['field_1'] == 'other' ) { 
      if(!isset($_POST['field_2']) OR $_POST['field_2'] == '' ) {
         $errors[] = "Please enter a value for OTHER FIELD";
      }
   }
   return $errors; 
}

Hi Mike, one of my fields is a multiple choice select box and the client wants one of the options to be ‘Other (please specify)’. This is a required field. Do you know how to implement such a scenario in which I can ensure the ‘Other’ field is filled if the ‘Other (please specify)’ option is selected ?

That would be a little trickier to handle with css alone. I’ll have to look into it.

You should be able to just do something like

#simplr-reg input {
width:100%;
}
