Hi,
first of all I would like to thank you for the work you do.

I would need the user to enter their first and last name when submitting a ticket, in previous versions I solved this using code, see link below.

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6977&p=29010&hilit ... ame#p29010

But in the new version 3.5.1, it will obviously need to be edited elsewhere

Thanks

It's a bit more complicated because customer accounts have been introduced.

Do you plan on using customer accounts or keeping them disabled?

Hi, we would like to use customer accounts.

You will need to force full names at registration time then.

In register.php, just below

Code: Select all

$name = hesk_input(hesk_POST('name'));

add

Code: Select all

if ( ! strpos($name, ' ')) {
$hesk_error_buffer['name'] = 'Please enter your full name';
}

(similar, but not same code as before)

And can I use the following code after the line?

Code: Select all

$name = hesk_input(hesk_POST('name'));

Code: Select all

function space_word_count($str)
{
    return count(preg_split('/\s+/', $str)); 
}
if ( ! strpos($tmpvar['name'], ' ')) {
    $hesk_error_buffer['name'] = $hesklang['enter_your_full_name'];
} 
else
if (space_word_count($tmpvar['name'])<3) {
$hesk_error_buffer['name'] = $hesklang['enter_your_full_name'];
}
else
if ( ! strpos($tmpvar['name'], '.') !==true) {
    $hesk_error_buffer['name'] = $hesklang['enter_your_full_name'];
}

Or would this be a more accurate option?

Code: Select all

function space_word_count($str)
{
    return count(preg_split('/\s+/', $str));
}

if (strpos($name, ' ') === false || space_word_count($name) < 3 || strpos($name, '.') !== false) {
    $hesk_error_buffer['name'] = $hesklang['enter_your_full_name']; // $hesklang['enter_your_full_name'] it is necessary to add to your translation text file so that the message is displayed
}

P.S. That's it, my second option actually gave me the ability to restrict registration without using my conditions.

Depending on how much you wish to complicate your customer's life

Use whatever works for you. It can be as simple as checking that there is an empty space in the name, or as complex as verifying the number of words, their length, composition, ...
