Convert email address to lowercase

[stormy]

I just ran into a problem that affects .es domains: ESNIC doesn't accept uppercase characters in the email address.

 

I suppose this could be fixed with a hook or something like that, but I'm not enough of a coder to figure it out myself. Any ideas?

I'd probably fix it client side with some jquery on the order form. Something like this should work. Just drop it in the template where you have the email field. You may have to change "mainfrm" to whatever the id of the form is on the page.

 

{literal}
$('#mainfrm').submit(function() {
   var email = $('input[name="email"]').val();
   email = email.toLowerCase();
   $('input[name="email"]').val(email);
   return true;
});
{/literal}

Thanks for the help! I was hoping it could be done server-side, although users will have javascript enabled anyway so it shouldn't be a problem.

I couldn't get the code to work. I know it's missing the javascript opening and closing tags, anything else?

Nope, that should be it. I havent tested it though, so your results may vary. Make sure the form ID is correct and the code is on the proper page. Also, the javascript must be wrapped in the {literal} tags in the template.

This code works for me:

{literal}<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#mainfrm').submit(function() {
   var email = $('input[name="email"]').val();
   email = email.toLowerCase();
   $('input[name="email"]').val(email);
   return true;
});
});</script>
{/literal}

 

Thanks a lot! Maybe it could be moved to the "how to" forum.
