    Hi,

    I need to add some additional features to the form for front end posting.

    current form is working well but i would like to be able to add a tickbox to confirm terms and conditions aswell as possibly adding a field for tags.

    Is this possible with the front end posting plugin?

    if so could you point me to any examples please

    thanks

    Hi Simon,
    You may use the ‘bsfep_validate_post’ filter to add validation errors. Here is an example(I am assuming that we are looking for a input name ‘test’

    
add_filter( 'bsfep_validate_post', function ( $err, $post_data ) {

	$input_name = 'test';
	if ( isset( $post_data[ $input_name ] ) ) {
		// validate
		// let us say, it did not validate, we override the $err
		$err = array( 'message' => 'test field failed validation', 'error' => true );
	}

	return $err;
}, 10, 2 );

    Please do know that the validation strategy is bad(It would have been much better if we had used WP_Error to allow adding multiple errors) but it is from our old days and the validation filter was included without much thought.

    I look forward to rewrite it in near future.

    Regards
    Brajesh
