I have a situation where one of the fields that a user submits needs to be checked with an external web service and the result should determine whether the registration is successful.
So, I have setup CB Auto Actions using the onBeforeUserRegistration trigger to run some custom PHP code which does the web services call to see if the user has provided valid data. This is working fine but I cant work out how to prevent the registration from going through if the user provides invalid data. Is it possible to stop a registration from being successful using custom code in CB Auto Actions?
Alternatively, is there a way to run custom PHP code as a validation rule against a specific field?
You need to set a global plugin error to stop it from CB Auto Actions. The below might work, but I have not tested such a scenario. Ideally you'd develop a plugin that adds new validation to fields like CB Query Field does with its query validation.
Code:
global $_PLUGINS;
$_PLUGINS->_setErrorMSG( 'Your registration failed!' );
$_PLUGINS->raiseError();
The above is basically how CB AntiSpam does it to stop blocked login/registration attempts.
Alternatively, is there a way to run custom PHP code as a validation rule against a specific field?
No, not yet, but a planned future plugin CB Code Field will provide this (it'll be like CB Query Field except with PHP).
