Help with mail_options and conditions

[wufpack00]

How do you provide the field list for the Exclude mail_option? Is it like this:
<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="Exclude=field1,field2,field3">

Can you show an html code example of how to use multiple mail_options?

I'm trying to specify a condition for an input to only allow 6 digits. However, my conditions seem to never be checked.

Is this the correct syntax:
<input type="hidden" name="conditions" value="@TEST@field1~(/d){6}@Field #1 can only contain digits.@">

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Because the mail_options are separated by comma, you can not list a number of Exclude values by comma.

So, you need to separate them by semicolon:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="Exclude=field1;field2;field3">

With the syntax you used, you should have received an alert message that said something like this "Some mail_options settings are undefined", which then listed your field2, field3, etc.

For conditions, you need to specify two delimiter characters at the start:

<input type="hidden" name="conditions" value=":@TEST@field1~(/d){6}@Field #1 can only contain digits.@">

The first character you specify ":" is the list separator. The second character "@" is the internal separator.

You need the list separator even if you're only providing one condition.

You should have received an alert message with at least one error message with the syntax you used. Did you get such an alert?

Also, for the test you want, here's the correct pattern:

<input type="hidden" name="conditions" value=":@TEST@num~/\\d{6}/@Field #1 can only contain digits.@">

Let me know how you go. We're planning to write a HOWTO guide for conditions "real soon now"

Thanks, that cleared it up. The instructions provided in the code was a little vague. These examples would be perfect for the HOWTO.
