Hello,

I have run into an issue where my users are not entering their email addresses for their member profiles. I have modified the connections_form.php to require the email field to have been filled out, which is great, but it only works after the user clicks “Add Email Address” … if they ignore this row completely, the class=”required” has no effect because the email field is not present yet.

How can I further modify this to require the user to enter an email? Or, how can I make it so the email field is automatically expanded in the first place?

Thanks!

@ George

I would like to apologize for my delay in my reply as I was not receiving my notices for new support forum posts for about a week. Just reply notices to ones that were already started which is why I’m just now noticing.

The only solution I can think of is to copy the sections of HTML that is created when the “Add Email” button is clicked and paste that right above the button in the connections_form.php PHP file. That way there will always be that one email input and clicking the button will add additional ones.

Does that help?
