wpmem_pre_register_data

Description

Gets user registration data before data is validated, but before the user is inserted.

All of the _data hooks can be used in a similar manner. The differences are if the user data has been inserted or not. All of it has passed the plugin’s default validation by the time it gets to the hook.

The wpmem_pre_register_data hook can be used to validate registration data by globalizing $wpmem_themsg to contain the error message.  If $wpmem_themsg contains a value, it will halt the registration process and return the error message to the user.

The related action hook for user profile update is wpmem_post_update_data which comes after the user is inserted.

Parameters

$fields
(array) (optional) The user’s submitted registration data.

Usage

add_action( 'wpmem_pre_register_data', 'my_reg_hook' );
 
function my_reg_hook( $fields ) {
  
    // The following can be used to output what is in 
    // the $fields array so you can see what's in it,
    // and then it quits:
    // echo "<pre>"; print_r( $fields ); echo "</pre>";
    // exit();
  
    // In a real, working use of this action, you can
    // do whatever you need to do with registration
    // data before it is inserted.  
    
    // The following is an example using it to perform
    // validation, you can stop registration and return
    // an error message to the user by globalizing 
    // $wpmem_themsg and giving it your error message:
     
    global $wpmem_themsg;
    
    if ( $fields['my_field'] != 'some_criteria' ) {
        $wpmem_themsg = 'your error message...';
    }
    
    return;
}
