e-mail validation

[luisraposo]

hello,
for unregistered users, filling e-mail address can be mandatory, ok
what happens is that the address is not validated..  
is this planned to be fixed on the next release?
regards,

hi,
I thought this was important, in order to have responsible comments.

I'm not sure is there can be a fail-safe-check for e-mail addresses.. even because some mail servers accept messages to non-existent addresses!

Community Builder implements a mail check function when registering, so I started digging from there :p

The standard Joomla! PHPmailer library has the needed functions for checking, and the JMail class returns a conveniently filled mail structure.. so..  

You may try this 2step approach to get the e-mail address validated  

1. extract http://www.kotasbiketeam.org/tmp/email-check.zip to your JComments folder (\components\com_jcomments\)

2. edit \components\com_jcomments\jcomments.ajax.php ~line 150

Code:

/*
} else if (!empty($values['email']) && (!preg_match( _JC_REGEXP_EMAIL2, $values['email']))) {
JCommentsAJAX::showErrorMessage($response, 'email', JText::_('ERROR_INCORRECT_EMAIL'));
*/
} else if (!empty($values['email'])) {
if (! is_file(JCOMMENTS_BASE.DS . 'email-check.php')) {
if (! preg_match( _JC_REGEXP_EMAIL2, $values['email']))
JCommentsAJAX::showErrorMessage($response, 'email', JText::_('ERROR_INCORRECT_EMAIL'));
} else {
require_once (JCOMMENTS_BASE.DS . 'email-check.php');
if (emailCheck($values['email']) == 1) {
$noErrors = true;
} else {
JCommentsAJAX::showErrorMessage($response, 'email', JText::_('ERROR_INCORRECT_EMAIL'));
}
}

} else if ...

Let me know if it worked, you may use it as you wish
