Email Validator v 2.2.3 Missing Label on Checkout Form

  • Would it be possible to add a label to the email validator field so that users know what that extra field is for?

    It would be nice if there was an inputbox next to the checkbox in the plugin settings where, after we check the box that we want the email validator, we could assign a label to it dynamically so that we could word it however we want. For instance, I would like to have a label called “Re-type Email”, but somebody else might prefer “Validate Email”. In any case, it would be nice to have a label over the box–right now, I just have an extra box on the screen and 100% of users don’t know what it is for until they try to check out and then fail email validation because they left the box blank.

    Hello cameronscott.

    Simply open Checkout Billing Form Section and edit its placeholder, label, etc. That’s it. It will be there…

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I don’t see a placeholder or label for the VERIFICATION email, just the original email.

    Settings:
    Checkout Billing Form

    I See the input box for the verification email, but there is no label:
    Checkout

    I have the latest version…

    I have the same issue. Also, there is no way to change the order of where the email validation field appears in the form.

    For me, it appears after the phone number number, which it should appear directly after the main email field.

    Ideally, it would be nice to be able to apply First/Last/Wide rules for the Email validation field to make it flow nicely with the rest of the form.

    Hi.
    Sorry, completely right. Seems that I have messed something up as the validator field does not show up in the settings. It should, I will bring it back to allow you to configure the field. Won’t take long, in the meantime you will have to live without the email validator.

    Hi there! I’m having this issue too and had to deactivate email validation. Any ETA on when could this be ready?

    Still no validation field on front-end ??

    Maybe we can revisit this issue after all these holidays end ??

    I would be interested on that too, since it doesn’t work for me either with PGSK v. 2.2.3

    I am not sure why this is marked “Resolved” as the author has yet to fix this problem. That was TWO MONTHS ago…

    Was about to post a new thread when I saw this old one. Would be very nice to have some text explaining it is the e-mail validator!

    Could you please explain how we can add a label to this e-mail validator?

    Folks,

    NO THANKS to the plugin author, I pecked away at this until I found THE SOLUTION!

    It was a simple blunder…

    You will need to edit the following file (make a backup copy FIRST):

    /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/classes/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife.php

    Search for the section below(around line 3,295 in my version):

    function add_billing_custom_fields( $fields )

    Within that section, you will see this code:
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) :

    followed by several lines of code and then
    endif;

    The blunder is that with this code enabled, the fields that you need to edit in the WCPGSK plugin will NOT show up if you are logged in…but you MUST be logged in (as an admin) to edit the fields in the WCPGSK plugin. So, with this code enabled, you will never be able to see the fields that you need to edit. I assume the plugin author intended to only require the verification for customers without accounts…

    My simple fix was to comment out those two lines only (using two forward slashes):
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) :
    becomes
    //if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) :

    and

    endif;
    becomes
    //endif;

    I realize this may remove some of author’s intended functionality (only requesting verification for non-logged-in users) but I didn’t mind. You may have to experiment to get your desired results…

    Edit the code to your preference, then save the .php file. Log in to your wp-admin and then go into your plugin settings and make sure that “Add billing email validator:” is checked under your “Checkout Settings”. Save, then go to “WooCommerce Checkout Billing Section” and you SHOULD see an option for “billing_email_validator” at or near the bottom, which you can now customize and will appear on the checkout page of your website.

    Enjoy!

    Also interesting to note is that according to the changelog, the functionality that allowed logged-in users to bypass email validation (the same logic that appears to be causing the problems) was added in version 2.2.1.

    Either the author did not properly test the changes OR there is a bigger issue elsewhere; regardless, my proposed “fix” will expose the fields so you can edit the labels and placeholder. Afterwards, if you want to re-enable the functionality you can. Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to see the fields you need to edit in the plugin admin with that code enabled.

    Hmmm, I’m hanging out for an easy way to label the e-mail validator. Currently I’ve put a label in the first email field. I’d really like a more elegant way to label the second email field as it currently causes a road block to some customer orders.
