I have successfully made several fields in Register.asp be required fields. However, I read a comment by FrutZle in another post where he says that changing Register.asp won't prevent people from deleting the information when updating the profile. So, my question is, what other changes do I need to make so the fields are also required when updating a profile. Is it in pop_profile.asp? Here is the code I pasted into Register.asp:
If Trim(Request.Form("Firstname")) = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li> You must enter a valid first name.</li>"
end if
Can I paste this same code into pop_profile.asp or whatever page I need to edit? If so, where should I paste it?
One last thing, I have one field that I know must be 5-digits long, how can I write the code to ensure the user's entry is 5-digits?
Thanks in advance. |

Correct.
I made a MOD to the ServerHacker version to do this (at http://www.serverhacker.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=987&).
You will need to change these program files:
- inc_profile.asp - display the form
- register.asp - server-side editing of the submitted new registrations form
- pop_profile.asp - server-side editing of the submitted member profile form

Since all data is received in Request.Form as strings, you will need to check both the length of the string, and that it has a numeric value... something like ...
strTemp = Trim(Request.Form("Firstname"))
If len(strTemp) = 5 then
for i = 1 to 5
If mid(strTemp,i) < "0" or mid(strTemp,i) > "9" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li> Fieldname must be 5 digits.</li>"
end if
next i
else
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li> Fieldname must be 5 digits.</li>"
end if
Cheers, Don.
P.S. When putting script in a forum post, I suggest you use the Snitz forum codes [ code ] and [ /code ] (without the extra spaces} to preserve your indentation and make the code easier to read.

Thanks Don. In pop_profile.asp, I just pasted my code under the same piece of code under which I pasted in Register.asp. Worked great. I didn't change anything in.
As for my other question, I was probably a little misleading. When I said 5 digits, I meant 5 characters (alpha or numeric). The code below seems to do the job.
If Len(Request.Form("FIELD")) <> 5 then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li> Your entry must be exactly 5 characters in length.</li>"
end if
This is probably ASP 101 for you experienced people, but for me who has never had any formal training, it was a proud moment. 
I have learned more about ASP in the few weeks since I have downloaded this product than I had in two years of designing web pages via FrontPage. Kudos to the developers of the SNITZ forum application. Besides being a great tool for exchanging information, it is a great learning tool for those novice progammers like myself. |
