Does the "Email Address" sign up box need to be required?

[markluchauer]

Does the “Email Address” box need to be required? Or can I just make the Paypal Email Address the only one that is required and delete the “Email Address” box?

If I have to leave the “Email Address” box there and keep it as required, then how do I change the text from “Email Address” to “Paypal Email Address”?

I am using the onsite affiliate view.

Thank you so much!

Plugin uses the “Email Address” to send sign up notification. That’s why It’s a required field. But you can make the “PayPal Email Address” a required field so that the new affiliate will have to enter a PayPal email address. The following post will help you tweak it:

The plugin uses the “PayPal email address” to prepare the PayPal masspay file (if you use this method to pay your affiliates).

The normal email address is used for all other purpose. The reason the PayPal email address is not required by default is because some admins like to Pay by check or bank transfer, some like to mix them up.

In your case you can just make the PayPal email field required:

I changed the paypal email to be:

<input type=”text” name=”paypal_email” size=”20″ value=”<?php echo $_POST; ?>” class=”required”>

But, it’s still not required. I just signed up for a test account and didn’t put in the paypal email and it still created an account.

Here is what I have in the register_view:

<tr>

<td><b><?php echo AFF_EMAIL; ?>: * </b></td>

<td><b>

<input type=”text” name=”aemail” size=”20″ value=”<?php echo $_POST; ?>” class=”required”>

</b></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><b><?php echo AFF_PAYPAL_EMAIL; ?>: * </b></td>

<td><b>

<input type=”text” name=”paypal_email” size=”20″ value=”<?php echo $_POST; ?>” class=”required”>

</b></td>

</tr>

can you please post a link to the affiliate sign up page?

Here is the link to the sign up page:

Even though I made “Paypal Email” required, an affiliate can still sign up without entering the paypal email address.

Thank you!

Thats because you have JQuery issues coming from other themes or plugins on this page:

So the JQuery that checks the required field is not triggering properly. Either use the stand alone option for the signup page or do this test to identify the conflict:

Everything works great when I do the standalone version. I’m just going to stick with that and not mess with it.

Thanks for the great plugin
