<p>Added page about config file</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{dirs}}<br /> {{cfgd}}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;user_validate.pl&#039;&#039;&#039; contains configuration for validating User data objects.<br /> <br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;validate_user&#039;&#039;&#039; function tests the validity of the values set for the metadata fields for a User. This usually happens when a user submits the form (e.g. clicks on &#039;&#039;Previous&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Save and Return&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Next&#039;&#039;) on the &#039;&#039;Upload&#039;&#039; stage.<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;tt&gt;$user&lt;/tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; is the [[API:EPrints/DataObj/User|User]] object being validated.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;tt&gt;$repository&lt;/tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[API:EPrints/Repository|Repository]] object.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;tt&gt;$for_archive&lt;/tt&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a boolean indicating whether the current validation is a precursor to the item being moved to the live archive. Its value make no difference for the default &#039;&#039;&#039;validate_user&#039;&#039;&#039; function.<br /> <br /> == Example ==<br /> In this example, there are no specific validation checks, which is the default but the &#039;&#039;# CHECKS IN HERE&#039;&#039; is where any validation checks should be inserted.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> $c-&gt;{validate_user} = sub<br /> {<br /> my( $user, $repository, $for_archive ) = @_;<br /> <br /> my @problems = ();<br /> <br /> # CHECKS IN HERE<br /> <br /> return( @problems );<br /> };&lt;/pre&gt;</div>
