Hi-

I need to check to see if at least one phone number is provided before a user is either created or updated, and if not, throw an error. I enabled the skeleton plugin, but can't figure out how to do it. Here is my code:


defined('_JEXEC') or die;

class PlgJsnSkeleton extends JPlugin
{

public function triggerProfileUpdate($user,&$data,$changed,$isNew){

if ($data['homephone'] == '' && $data['cellphone'] == ''){
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage('You need at least one phone number.', 'Error');
}
else {
$user->save();
}

}

}


However, when I save a user with no phone numbers, I get no error message and the user is saved. I am sure the fix is simple, I just don't know what it is.

Thanks.

Hi,
unfortunately this is not so simple, because the function "triggerProfileUpdate" is triggered after the validation process.

You can use this workaround:
- Create a Field of type Text and set it as required called "Home Phone or Cell Phone" (for example with alias phones)
- In your template options add following custom CSS to hide the field
.phones-group{display: none !important}

- In your template options add following custom Javascript code to fill the phones field
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('#jform_homephone,#jform_cellphone').change(function(){
$('#jform_phones').val($('#jform_homephone').val()+$('#jform_cellphone').val());
});
});


Basically the value of field "phones" will be populated with homephone and cellphone values, if both field are empty then the form will return a error like "Invalid field: Home Phone or Cell Phone"
