Does this plugin work with the Jomsocial registration?

Currently no, but this is the second request in a day for compatibility with JomSocial, so I am looking into this. Unfortunately it is not as straightforward as the adding support for other components has been, as the registration in JomSocial appears to be highly Ajax driven - and this is overriding the normal redirects of Registration Validator, and bypassing the block completely.

I will update as soon as I have more information.

Version 1.2.1 now works with JomSocial.

That was quick

I will try to install and test this weekend

Turned out I didn't need to analyse the Ajax after all!

One point to note... For it to work with JomSocial, you need to ensure that Registration Validator has the highest possible priority - in particular, it needs to be a higher priority than the JomSocial system plugin, otherwise it will be bypassed.

Think I'd better put this note on the main page too...

How do I increase the "priority" of the validator... is this a server settign? where? how? thanks, angie

You can change the order of plugins from the Plugin Manager in the administrator interface. When looking at the Plugin Manager, locate System - Registration Validator, and keep clicking the up arrow in the Order column until it is as low as it will go (usually 0) - this will ensure it is processed before any other plugins.

Thanks for the quick response...Wow what a useful "tip"...By default (in my backend) it is "0" ..so I guess I am ready to go...I have a community builder site...do I need to do anything special to get it working there or does it run out of the box there too?

It runs out of the box with all supported components, no changes needed. Sounds like you have it set up as it should be.
