How to restrict users from typing emails and websites into textbox input?

Ask the community

I have custom member profiles. On their personal update page they can read & update their own info.

One input is "“about”.

“About” is public information, visible to any website visitor.

I want to restrict members from typing their email in the “about” section. I guess this would work with restricting “@” ?

But some members have their own website with their own contact-information, and I want to restrict that too. So – would it be possible to restrict “.com” from being typed?

Cheers

Hey,
you can achive this by applying validation on the inputs fields, like a regax patterns which are created for this purposes.

Hi, I’m aware of that, I’m asking for the specifics.

I do see that I didn’t mention “regex” and “validation fields”, but I’m asking what specific regex will do what I wish, and where to add that regex (in code, since my textbox setting doesn’t have a validation field)

can you share the url of your store and what input field that you have used?

Its www.kreativthold.dk , but you’d need to sign up to get to the update page.

It’s the input “text box” not “text field”, because I’ve been thinking that made more sense for longer texts.

But maybe I should switch it to a text field?

Edit: No, switching to field is not a possibility, since all text would be on one line only.

Field has validations, textbox doesn’t

So - that’s a problem

Hence why I’m looking to code instead.

can you share a screenshot? i have signup at your website but i am unabled to find that update page.

Are you danish? You have “danish” in your name, and that’s what my site language is.

You click “Min profil” and then “opdater profil”

Bottom of that page (almost) is a textbox with the title “Beskrivelse”

You can use some regex, i think.

Try the following…

^(?:(?!\S*@\S+)(?!\S*.com\S+).)*$

Thanks. I don’t have time to try it yet, but I’ll mark it as a solution for now.
