I used a 'Custom Server Side Validation' module in CF4, and entered:

Code:

<?php
   $user =& JFactory::GetUser();
   if ($user->email <> $form->data['email1']) {
      return false;
   };
?>

Then added the store action on the true, and a note on the false result.
That seems to work.
Now I just need to convert the birthday data from "text" field to "date" field.

Best regards

I tried with this:

Code:

$birthday = strtotime($form->data['foedsel1']);
$cbbirthday = date("Y-m-d", $birthday);
$user->cb_birthday = $cbbirthday;

But that just gave me a date of 1970-01-01

Ahaa, got it sort, Chronoforms is terribly smart, and very neat to 'code' in :-)

So I got the datepicker configured to show the date format in the danish notation, which is:
d/m-Y
Then I used this function to convert it, and it is now store correctly in CB:

Code:

$user->cb_birthday = date_format(date_create_from_format('d/m-Y', $form->data['foedsel1']), 'Y-m-d');
