Zip/Postal code field validation

[marlvass]

hi everyone,

I need to set the postcode field to be validated to have at least one number in it but seems like im missing something becuase it is not working, i inserted the following code under ps_userfield.php (line 720):

  if( isset( $required_fields['zip'] )) {
      
         echo '
         if( =(/^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-zA-Z])+$/.test(form.zip.value))) {
            alert( \'Please enter a valid Zip Code\');
            return false;
         }';

      }

can someone tell me what is wrong please?

Thanks in advance

Hi, this works for me - it's still being tested so please be careful if you use it:

       if( isset( $required_fields['zip'] )) {
      
            echo '
         if( !(/^([A-PR-UWYZa-pr-uwyz]([0-9]{1,2}|([A-HK-Ya-hk-y][0-9]|[A-HK-Ya-hk-y][0-9]([0-9]|[ABEHMNPRV-Yabehmnprv-y]))|[0-9][A-HJKS-UWa-hjks-uw])\ {0,1}[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Zabd-hjlnp-uw-z]{2}|([Gg][Ii][Rr]\ 0[Aa][Aa])|([Ss][Aa][Nn]\ {0,1}[Aa]1)|([Bb][Ff][Pp][Oo]\ {0,1}([Cc]\/[Oo]\ )?[0-9]{1,4})|(([Aa][Ss][Cc][Nn]|[Bb][Bb][Nn][Dd]|[BFSbfs][Ii][Qq][Qq]|[Pp][Cc][Rr][Nn]|[Ss][Hh][Ll]|[Dd][Cc][Uu]|[Kk][Cc][Aa])\ {0,1}1[Zz][Zz]))$/.test(form.zip.value))) {
            alert( \''. str_replace("'","\\'",$VM_LANG->_('REGWARN_ZIP',false)) .'\');
            return false;
         }';

      }

You also need to create a new entry in the VMLanguage file (as REGWARN_ZIP in this case) to display the error message

Cheers

If you are working in the UK this is what you may want, as this will ignore the regex test if country is not GBR

ps_uesrfiled.php around line 720

Code Select Expand

        $optional_check = '';
if( VM_REGISTRATION_TYPE == 'OPTIONAL_REGISTRATION') {
$optional_check = '&& form.register_account.checked';
}
   
//Added uk specific regex zip code check
        if( isset( $required_fields['zip'] )) {
echo '
if( form.country.value == "GBR"  && !(/^([a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9a-zA-Z]? [0-9][abd-hjlnp-uw-zABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})$/.test(form.zip.value))) {
alert( \'Please enter a valid post code space needed\');
return false;
}';
}

//end
   
    // We have skipped email in the first loop above!
    // Now let's handle email address validation
   
    if( isset( $required_fields['email'] )) {
   
    echo '
if( !(/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,4})+$/.test(form.email.value))) {
alert( \''. str_replace("'","\\'",$VM_LANG->_('REGWARN_MAIL',false)) .'\');
return false;
}';

}
if( isset( $required_fields['username'] )) {


I cannot see the point in adding a separate language file entry when the code is already modified, just chnge the warning as required
