Hi to all,
  I'm creating a "registration" plugin, but I have some problems with the form validation.

Here are some pieces of my code:

This is server side plugin (there is also a custom template, but it renders form in the correct way so i will not attach it)

<?php

define('MYSQL_DATE_FORMAT', 'Y-m-d');
define('MYSQL_DATETIME_FORMAT', 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

class registration extends rcube_plugin
{
public $task = 'login';

function init()
{
$rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();

$current_task = $rcmail->task;

$current_action = $rcmail->action;

$this->add_texts('localization/');

$this->include_stylesheet('css/registration.css');
$this->include_script('scripts/script.js');

if($current_task == 'login' && $current_action == 'plugin.add_registration_handler')
{
$this->add_hook('startup', array($this, 'add_registration_handler'));
$this->register_action('plugin.add_registration_handler', array($this, 'add_registration_handler'));
}
else if($current_task == 'login' && $current_action == 'plugin.do_registration_handler')
{
$this->add_hook('startup', array($this, 'do_registration_handler'));
$this->register_action('plugin.do_registration_handler', array($this, 'do_registration_handler'));
}
else if($current_task == 'login' && $current_action == 'plugin.check_email_exists')
{
$this->add_hook('startup', array($this, 'check_email_exists'));
$this->register_action('plugin.check_email_exists', array($this, 'check_email_exists'));
}

}

function add_registration_handler()
{
$this->register_handler('plugin.registrationform', array($this, 'register_form'));

$rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();
$rcmail->output->set_pagetitle($this->gettext('registration'));
$rcmail->output->send('registration.registration_form');

}

function register_form()
{
$input_domain = new html_hiddenfield(array('name' => 'domain', 'id' => 'domain', 'value' => 'cerca.glab.ch'));

....

$input_new_email_label = html::label(array('for' => 'new_email', ), $this->gettext('new_email') . ':');
$input_new_email_field = new html_inputfield(array('name' => 'new_email', 'id' => 'new_email', 'required' => 'required'));

....

$out = '';

$out .= '<table>';

...

$out .= '<tr>';
$out .= '<td class="title">';
$out .= $input_new_email_label;
$out .= '</td>';
$out .= '<td class="input">';
$out .= $input_new_email_field->show();
$out .= '<span class="atcerca">@cerca.it</span>';
$out .= '</td>';
$out .= '</tr>';

...

$out .= $input_domain->show();

return $out;
}

function do_registration_handler()
{
...

$new_email = array_key_exists('new_email',$_POST) ? $_POST['new_email'] : '';

...

$domain = array_key_exists('domain',$_POST) ? $_POST['domain'] : '';


$rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();

$db = $rcmail->db;

...

if($checks_ok)
{
...

if($error)
{
$rcmail->output->show_message('Error1','warning'); <--- THIS DOES NOT WORK
$rcmail->output->redirect(array('_task' => 'login', '_action' => 'plugin.add_registration_handler'));
}
else
{
... 
}
}
else
{
$rcmail->output->show_message('registration.contact_system_administrator','warning');
}

}


function format_date_to_mysql_date($date_string, $format)
{
$datetime_object = null;

$datetime_object = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $date_string);

return $datetime_object->format(MYSQL_DATE_FORMAT);
}

function get_mysql_current_datetime()
{
return date(MYSQL_DATETIME_FORMAT);
}

function check_email_exists()
{
... various checks ...

if($email_exists)
{
$check_result = array
(
'result' => 'fail',
'message' => 'Error, email exists',
);
}
else
{
$check_result = array
(
'result' => 'success',
'message' => '',
);
}

$rcmail->output->command('plugin.check_email_exists_callback', $check_result);

}

}


And this is the javascript code:



function checkEmailExists()
{
rcmail.removeEventListener('plugin.check_email_exists_callback', checkEmailExistsCallback);
rcmail.addEventListener('plugin.check_email_exists_callback', checkEmailExistsCallback);

jQuery('#new_email').keyup
(
function( event )
{
domain = jQuery('#domain').val();
email = jQuery('#new_email').val();

data = { new_email: email , domain: domain};

alert(domain);
alert(email);

rcmail.http_post('plugin.check_email_exists', data);

}
);
}

function checkEmailExistsCallback(data)
{

alert('callback');

var result = data.result;
var message = data.message;

alert(result);
alert(message);

if(result == 'fail')
{
jQuery('#new_email').addClass('error');
}
else
{
jQuery('#new_email').removeClass('error');
}
}

jQuery(document).ready(checkEmailExists);


The problems are essentially two:

1)
While I'm writing the "new_email" i see the POST request with two parameters (domain, new_email) to the server, and i correctly see the callback "alerts".
But after the callback ends the page is redirected to the login page with the "_err=session" error parameter.

This behaviour is very strange for me...I was expecting that the class of the new_email input field would change.

Why is this happening?

2)
After an error checked by do_registration_handler i try to set an error message (the line with "THIS DOES NOT WORK")
But no error is displayed on the page.

I hope my question is clear (or lightly understandable).
If not please ask me what is not clear, i'll try to explain.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Update:

I'm still struggling with this problem, but I found something that could help:

when I do a request like http://mysite.net/?_task=login&_action=plugin.add_registration_handler

all is working fine

when I do a request (ajax using rcmail.http_post) like http://mysite.net/?_task=login&_action=plugin.check_email_exists

I always get a "session error" and RC redirects me to the login page.

As you can see the definition of both actions are the same.

Hope you can help me...

Thanks a lot

I figured it out!

i missed the $rcmail->output->send() after the $rcmail->output->command ...

Great to see you figured it out!  Can you mark this post as SOLVED?
