Additional validation + customize error message

Resolved

(@kooogi)

Hi everyone

It is possible to add additional validation / customize messages in password reset form and to do the same thing in register form with username (user_login) field.
I wrote this code in php and in my opinion it should work but it doesn’t

add_action( 'um_reset_password_form', 'my_reset_password_form', 10, 1 );
function my_reset_password_form( $args ) {
    if ( isset( $args['username'] ) ) {
		if ( isset( UM()->form()->errors['username'] ) ) {
			unset( UM()->form()->errors['username'] );
		}
		if ( empty( $args['username'] ) ) {
			UM()->form()->add_error( 'username', __( 'Enter username or email address', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		} elseif ( ! email_exists( $args['username'])  || ! username_exists( $args['username']) ) {
			UM()->form()->add_error( 'username', __( 'username or email address doesnt exists', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		}
	}
}

thanks in advance

Try to use this hook “um_reset_password_errors_hook” for your code snippet

https://ultimatemember.github.io/ultimatemember/hooks/um_reset_password_errors_hook.html

For the Registration Form use Custom Validation explained in this guide.

Unfortunately nothing change, its looks like “um_reset_password_errors_hook” doesnt works too. And the second thing i cant set custom validation on user_login, there’s only “no validation” or “unique check”.

You can try this updated code snippet where I have changed username to username_b
```
add_action( 'um_reset_password_errors_hook', 'my_reset_password_form', 10, 2 );
function my_reset_password_form( $args, $form_data ) {
    if ( isset( $args['username_b'] ) ) {
		if ( isset( UM()->form()->errors['username_b'] ) ) {
			unset( UM()->form()->errors['username_b'] );
		}
		if ( empty( $args['username_b'] ) ) {
			UM()->form()->add_error( 'username_b', __( 'Enter username or email address', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		} elseif ( ! email_exists( $args['username_b'])  || ! username_exists( $args['username_b']) ) {
			UM()->form()->add_error( 'username_b', __( 'username or email address doesnt exists', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		}
	}
}
```

Now even if a username/email exists its callback an error that the user doesnt exist

Change the || to && in the test for existing email or username.
Both test must be false for not exists or make it as two separate tests.
