Problem validating emails

Hi,
I'm using an email field on my registration form, with the following validation.
validate[required,custom

Look at the file components/com_eventbooking/controller/controller.php, find the method validate_email , add the trim command to the code should help solving the issue

Hi Tuan,

I edited a line in validate_email to but I still get the Ajax error telling me the email is invalid if I add a space at the end of the email.

Thanks for the help,
Donal

Hello Donal

I am afraid of it is not the AJAX error. There is regular expression which validate the format of the email using javascript

You can look at components/com_eventbooking/helper/jquery.php, look at the line 287 and try to change that regular expression to solve the issue

Sorry, I am not good at regular expression (it is a complicated thing to me) to help with the change

Hi,

I modified the regular expression, so the extra space was allowed by the validation. I thought I had the problem solved when I combined the regex adjustment with the trim function, but unfortuantely, event booking emails weren't being sent to the customer with the trailing space. I found another place where I thought a trim would be required. In /components/com_eventbooking/controller/register.php, but that still didn't fix the issue.

In the end of the day, I adopted a far easier solution: The AJAX warning that appears now tells the customer to check for any trailing spaces!

OK Donal. The most important thing is it works
