Hi,
You can use login hook. This is the best option. You should use BEFORE_SAVE logic hook.
How did you used the hooks??

Other Option can be to use JavaScript at front end, and run in ON BLUR event of the field.
For both of the things, you will need coding skills.

Thanks

Hi Elite,

I used before_save but they didn’t work. Or I couldn’t.

Firstly custom\modules\Accounts\logic_hooks.php --> $hook_array[‘before_save’][] = Array(1, ‘tutorialNumber’, ‘custom/modules/Accounts/tutorial_number.php’, ‘tutorial_number’, ‘number’);

Then I added custom\modules\Accounts\tutorial_number.php and I filled in these codes ;

class tutorial_number
{

  function number ($bean, $event, $arguments)
  {
	  
	  $bean = '092163688776';
	  $event = '/([0-9]{12})';
	  $arguments = '/([\+]90?)([ ]?)(\([0-9]{3}\))([ ]?)([0-9]{3})(\s*[\-]?)([0-9]{2})(\s*[\-]?)([0-9]{2})';
	  
	  echo preg_replace($event, $arguments, $bean);
	  
  }

}

I’m sure some parts are wrong. Maybe you can help me coding things.

Thanks.

Hi,
Many things are wrong here.

Code is not valid and also Logic Hook definition is also not valid.

hi,
the code should assign the value to $bean instead it is displaying the values

We can create an entry point and make an Ajax call to the entry point on the event of onchange or onblur and set the control value with response received from the entry point in javascript code.

Could you please provide step-by-step guidance on it?

Logics hook will be the good approach, you can check this example if using logic hooks
