Registration Custom Validation not working (Form null)

  • I am working with the new 2.0 version of UM and have also bought the Social Plugin. I am trying to perform some custom validation on a field, but throwing the error is not working as it says form is null. 

    add_action('um_custom_field_validation_check_fundraiser_code', 'um_action_check_fundraiser_code', 10, 3);
function um_action_check_fundraiser_code( $key, $array, $args){

	if ( isset( $args[$key] ) && strstr( $args[$key], '123' ) ) {
		UM()->form->add_error( 'fundraiser_code', 'Your username must not contain the word 123 (TEST).' );
		}

}

    The only way I get the registration from stopping through the process is to throw the following error:

    exit( wp_redirect( add_query_arg(‘err’, ‘invalid_customer_code’) ) );

    However, it throws a generic error and nothing specific and doesn’t apply the error code/msg to a specific field. Anyone else have the same issues?

    UM() is populated but when I try and reference UM()->form (it is null)

    Thanks in advance,
    Collins

  • Same issue on our end. And after exhaustive searching it seems this is common issue. The code shown in the official documentation on how to Apply custom validation to a field also throws the error you are describing.

    add_action('um_submit_form_errors_hook_','um_custom_validate_username', 999, 1);
function um_custom_validate_username( $args ) {
	global $ultimatemember;
	
	if ( isset( $args['user_login'] ) && strstr( $args['user_login'], 'admin' ) ) {
		$ultimatemember->form->add_error( 'user_login', 'Your username must not contain the word admin.' );
	}
}

    After spending a few hours troubleshooting we found we had to use:

    $ultimatemember->classes['form']->add_error( 'user_login', 'Your username must not contain the word admin.' );

    So in your case, try changing:

    UM()->form->add_error( 'fundraiser_code', 'Your username must not contain the word 123 (TEST).' );

    to:

    UM()->classes['form']->add_error( 'fundraiser_code', 'Your username must not contain the word 123 (TEST).' );

    Best of luck!

    Yup, the last one. And it got the error msg on the field which the redirect was not doing. Someone needs to update the docs

    Hello friends , the code :

    $ultimatemember->classes[‘form’]->add_error( ‘user_login’, ‘Your username must not contain the word admin.’ )

    it’s working fine! Thanks.

    Anyone know how to add validation for email? Greatly appreciated.
