TOPIC: Checking for duplicate emails in Joomla validation

Checking for duplicate emails in Joomla validation 14 years 5 months ago #11910

Hi

I have RSForms creating new Joomla accounts and various other odds and ends (unique username, merging First Name and Last name etc).

All is fine.

However, I am trying to modify the function for checking email address duplications so that it looks in Joomla.

It doesn't work though.

The field in RSForms for emails is: email

Any ideas?
function unique($param, $extra=null)
{
if(!RSFormProValidations::email($param,null))
return false;
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$param = $db->getEscaped($param);
$db->setQuery("SELECT `id` FROM #__users WHERE `FieldName`='email'");
$db->query();
$invalid = $db->getNumRows();
if ($invalid)
return false;
return true;
}

Solved:

The RSForms team gave answer:

as the registrations are also present in the RSForm! Pro tables, namely in the Manage Submissions section. If you wish to check the jos_users table for registered users then you will have to change the following code line:

$db->setQuery("SELECT `id` FROM #__users WHERE `FieldName`='email'");

to something like this:

$db->setQuery("SELECT `id` FROM #__users WHERE `email`='".$param."'");

This works for me.
