[Plugin: Participants Database] Regex not available on custom groups

Hi Sev,

Looks like there is a little problem with the javascript. If you use the dropdown selector to choose “regex” before you put in your regex it will save it.

I have javascript automatically selecting “regex” in the dropdown if you click in the field where the regex code goes, but I see now it’s not doing it right…so you should select it manually.

Good, that trick works. I should have found it myself !
Thanks for your help.

Hello again Roland,

This time I try to use Regex, it works well but I am trying to do a kind of “nothing or something”.
Up to what I know it should look like #?|[A-Z]{3}# which equals to nothing or 3 letters, but this does not work. I also tried #*|[A-Z]{3}# or #|[A-Z]{3}# but it fails. I tried also #[A-Z]{0,3}# but it still continues to tell me that the field is mandatory.

Is there something particular to do with your plugin or did I missed something ?

Thanks
Severin

Sev,

Well, everything you want to do is possible, it’s just that regex is complicated and there’s a lot to learn. I suggest you read more about using regexes, it’s great knowledge to have!

Now, if you just want to make sure *something* is put into a field, just select “yes” for the validation. Much simpler!
