Integration with other modules (especially webform and simplenews)

Hi,

it would be interessting for me as well, if we can use that module with webform in any easy way. Has anybody knowing how it would work?

-j

A general approach should integrate this module with most popular modules that use email addresses, including:
- User module (ALREADY INTEGRATED)
- Contact (core module)
- Comment (see #458758: Verify email-adresses in guest comments
- Webform.module
- Email_field (CCK)

Let's add Print_Mail from the Print module to handle "Email a friend."

I've already submitted a patch for comments in #458758: Verify email-adresses in guest comments; it would help if others would review it (and mark it RTBC).

Hmm, it appears any form can be integrated with something like: $form['fld_form_addr']['#element_validate'][] = 'email_verify_edit_validate'; I can't test at the moment because PHP in Windoze doesn't like to send email.

especially integration with the webform module would be greatly appreciated!

That would be an issue for the Webform module. Refer them to this issue.

I did a while ago, but the answer given by the webform maintainer has a lot of merit:

It seems that the usability of email_verify would be greatly enhanced if the email verification would include

• email field from webform
• newsletter_email field from webform_simplenews

How could we go about this and how can I help (not being great at php, maybe testing)?

Or should this be a separate module? But then there would be an eternal compatibility issue?

I could try to propose a patch ...

maybe a patch along the lines of http://drupal.org/node/374809 and http://drupal.org/node/458758?

Regarding integration with simplenews, the problem emanating from the simplenews module because it incorrectly interprets the result returned by email_verify_check.

I have posted a patch provided by Mr3T for simplenews here: http://drupal.org/node/1291774#comment-5957960

Webform Validation provides validation services to the Webform module. Here is a patch for Webform Validation to integrate Email Verify #1131328-7: Email validation

The original poster's problem could also be solved by http://drupal.org/project/webform_confirm_email

What about to make it compatible with cck email field?

Here is a patch to implement a hook that other modules can use to indicate their forms to be checked.

It needs thorough testing, please.

/**
 * Implements hook_email_verify_forms().
 */
function email_verify_email_verify_forms() {
  $forms = array(
    'user_register_form' => "User registration",
    'user_profile_form' => "User profile",
    );

  if (module_exists('contact')) {
    $forms['site_contact'] = "Site-wide contact";
    $forms['personal_contact'] = "Personal contact";
  }

  return $forms;
}

Thanks for the patch, @NancyDru!
However, it has been my experience that in the larger majority, getting other module maintainers to update their modules to account for this one is far less likely to happen than to provide a generic interface on this module to allow for checking any form/field combination, as challenging as that is: #2426859: Allow for more flexible form verification .

Since I have changed how this module chooses which form/field to test to allow admins to specify (and not) any form/field combination, I am closing this.
