EmailValidator

In case the native version doesn't exist.

I understand that, but it's not used anywhere in the code. Where is it being called?

I see it now

This won't work in SMF 2.0.14 (the search will fail) so you have to adapt the old replace from:

Code Select Expand

if (empty($regOptions['email']) || preg_match('~^[0-9A-Za-z=_+\-/][0-9A-Za-z=_\'+\-/\.]*@[\w\-]+(\.[\w\-]+)*(\.[\w]{2,6})$~', $regOptions['email']) === 0 || strlen($regOptions['email']) > 255 || (!empty($modSettings['validateEmail']) && smf_domain_exists($regOptions['email']) === false))


to:
       

Code Select Expand

if (empty($regOptions['email']) || filter_var($regOptions['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false || strlen($regOptions['email']) > 255 || (!empty($modSettings['validateEmail']) && smf_domain_exists($regOptions['email']) === false))

but then i got this:

Database Error: Field 'inactive_mail' doesn't have a default value

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO smf209_members(`member_name`, `email_address`, `passwd`, `password_salt`, `posts`, `date_registered`, `member_ip`, `member_ip2`, `validation_code`, `real_name`, `personal_text`, `pm_email_notify`, `id_theme`, `id_post_group`, `lngfile`, `buddy_list`, `pm_ignore_list`, `message_labels`, `website_title`, `website_url`, `location`, `icq`, `aim`, `yim`, `msn`, `time_format`, `signature`, `avatar`, `usertitle`, `secret_question`, `secret_answer`, `additional_groups`, `ignore_boards`, `smiley_set`, `join_reason`, `openid_uri`, `karma_good`, `karma_bad`, `activation_time`, `is_activated`, `hide_email`, `email_mentions`)

... and is FIXED by removing sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES from my.cnf

It worked fine for me.

what version are you on please ?

[Biology Forums]

Hi there

I didn't use the package installer, I installed it manually.

If you need help, I can help you with that

[aegersz]

I got it running but it processed the registration with a bad username but with the right mail server.

not what I hoped for.

[Arantor]

Define "bad username".

Except that could be a valid user name at Gmail.

The only way, literally, is to send an email. It's not like Gmail publishes a list of valid user names anywhere because the spammers would be all over that.

This mod does exactly what it claims to do, validate that the address is potentially legitimate by verifying it looks like an email address and that it has at least the fundamentals required to receive email.

I see. my problem is that so many new registrations get their email address wrong.

I troll through the undelivered mail reports and am amazed at how many people supply invalid email address.

oh well, they could always try again with an alternative. I have 4 email addresses to choose from but it puzzles me that people bother to register but can't get the address right !
