Action in bp_core_screen_general_settings for validating email

[dimitryz]

The current buddypress version (1.2.8) does not include email validation for the settings profile page. A user can enter any value and it will be saved.

Attached is a patch that fixes this problem. It enables the declaration of an action function to validate the POSTed email address. If the email address is not valid, a function may modify $email_error and set it to 'true'. Example:

function test_settings_email() {
    global $email_error;
    if ( !is_email($_POST['email']) ) {
        $email_error = true;
    }
}
add_action('bp_core_screen_general_settings_before_save', 'test_settings_email', 1);

Patch adding a new action and email validation to bp_core_screen_general_settings

This has been fixed in trunk [3524]. Highly unlikely it will be fixed in the 1.2 branch.

Just ran across this on a BP 1.2.x install. If there is going to be a BP 1.2.11 release, this should be added.
