I have to make a form with custom validation field in contact form 7. It is not working with latest version (4.1.1) of Contact Form 7 but working in older version.
I have created a field for getting coupon code from the form. I want to validate the entry if the coupon is started from "HIP". My code is given below:
add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_text', 'your_validation_filter_func', 999, 2 );
add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_text*', 'your_validation_filter_func', 999, 2 );
function your_validation_filter_func( $result, $tag ) {
$type = $tag['type'];
$name = $tag['name'];
if ( 'coupon_code' == $name ) {
$the_value = $_POST[$name];
$myresult = substr($the_value, 0, 3);
if($myresult=="HIP")
{
$result['valid'] = true;
}
else
{
$result['valid'] = false;
$result['reason'][$name] = "Not a valid coupon code";
}
}
return $result;
}
Give me suggestion please.
I had a similar issue with contact form 7 custom validations. Finally landed on this post and also on official custom form 7 custom validations link here: http://contactform7.com/2015/03/28/custom-validation/.
The only update required for the code working on the earlier versions of CF7 is to replace the following line of code:
$result['reason'][$name] = 'Your custom validation message goes here';
with:
$result->invalidate( $tag, "Your custom validation message goes here." );
I have also this issue was occurred when i update the contact form 7 with 4.1.1. In the latest version of contact form 7 old custom validation code is not working.
So after very research i have found solution for this. So in your case you need to change in your code as following. May be it will be helpful for you.
add_filter('wpcf7_validate_text', 'your_validation_filter_func', 999, 2);
add_filter('wpcf7_validate_text*', 'your_validation_filter_func', 999, 2);
function your_validation_filter_func($result, $tag) {
$type = $tag['type'];
$name = $tag['name'];
if ('coupon_code' == $name) {
$the_value = $_POST[$name];
$myresult = substr($the_value, 0, 3);
if ($myresult == "HIP") {
$result['valid'] = true;
} else {
$result->invalidate($tag, wpcf7_get_message('invalid_coupon_code'));
}
}
return $result;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_messages', 'mywpcf7_text_messages');
function mywpcf7_text_messages($messages) {
return array_merge($messages, array(
'invalid_coupon_code' => array(
'description' => __("Coupon is invalid", 'contact-form-7'),
'default' => __('Coupon seems invalid.', 'contact-form-7')
)));
}
function custom_phone_validation($result,$tag){
$type = $tag['type'];
$name = $tag['name'];
if($name == 'phonenumber'){
$phoneNumber = isset( $_POST['phonenumber'] ) ? trim( $_POST['phonenumber'] ) : '';
$the_value = preg_match("/your_reg_exp format for phone number/",$_POST[$name]);
if($phoneNumber == "" || $the_value == false ){
$result->invalidate( $tag, "please enter vaild phone number" );
}
}
return $result;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_validate_text','custom_phone_validation', 10, 2);
add_filter('wpcf7_validate_text*', 'custom_phone_validation', 10, 2);
phonenumber -> field name
try this once.
