Author Topic: Custom field for Personal Identity Number and validation of ditto (Read 1037 times)

How do I accomplish a custom field for personal identity number (the corresponding number in UK is the social security number)?

It is composed of Year, Month and Day of birth and a four digit number (X). All of it needs to be validated.
YYYYMMDD-XXXX

Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,

Mikael

Set up a custom field for the PIN (in an existing or new custom group)

Implement the validate hook:

to ensure the entered input is a valid PIN

You could potentially also use external_identifier for this purpose which is a core field in civicrm_contact

OK, and then just add the hook you are referring to to the external identifier?

Thanks,

Mikael
