Hello!

When my users post to my forum, the forum asks them to fill in:

Name (required)
Mail (required)
Website (optional)

I would like to change this to:
Name (required)
Membership Nr (required)

Can this be done and how? If email field is a must-have, then I would like to add the Membership field as the 3rd required field.

Cheers

you’d need to amend

\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-anonymous.php

I can delete the email field in the file you specify. But the forum still tries to validate and thus gives me an “ERROR: Invalid email address.”

How to define what to validate and disable email field validation?

Cheers

change

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

to

<input type="hidden" id="bbp_anonymous_email" value="anon@anon.com" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />

that just makes all entries anon@anon.com, so it passes the email format check

It would do the trick but it is not the best solution :/
I will try to develop an submission verification based on user custom field.
