BP_XProfile_Field_Type_URL::pre_validate_filter( string $submitted_value = '', string|int $field_id = '' )

Modify submitted URL values before validation.

Description

The URL validation regex requires a http(s) protocol, so that all values saved in the database are fully-formed URLs. However, we still want to allow users to enter URLs without a protocol, for a better user experience. So we catch submitted URL values, and if the protocol is missing, we prepend ‘http://’ before passing to is_valid().

Parameters

$submitted_value

(string) (Optional) Raw value submitted by the user.

Default value: ''

$field_id

(string|int) (Optional) ID of the field.

Default value: ''

Return

(string)
