@neversettle a lot of code hacks…

My function validates whether the input is the correct Swedish social security number ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identity_number_(Sweden) ).

Step 1:
You need to add a new rule to the file wp-content/plugins/user-meta/assets/js/jquery/validationEngine-en.js
I have 2 custom validators on one input field, one does a regex validation, another one calls a custom function.
In case of regex the addition looks like this (you add it the same way as “min”, “max”, “required”, “minSize” and other existing rules are defined in file):

Regex rule:

"onlyPersonnummer": {
"regex": /^\d{6}\-\d{4}$/,
"alertText": "* Format should be YYMMDD-NNNN"
},


Custom function rule:

"validate2fields": {
"alertText": "* Personnummer is not correct."
}


Note that the custom function rule contains only text to be shown on error.

Step 2:

Write your custom validation function, place it in wp-content/plugins/user-meta/assets/js/user-meta.js
Here’s a function skeleton:


function validatePersonalNumber(field, rules, i, options) {
input = field.val();
// on ERROR return options.allrules.validate2fields.alertText
// on success return;
}


Step 3:

Make your fields use these validators:
Edit: wp-content/plugins/user-meta/views/pro/generateField.php

A lot of elseifs there, you need to insert a similar looking code where needed.
In my case I have a custom field with meta key ‘personnummer’ so here is how it looks:


elseif( $field['field_type'] == 'phone' ):
$validation .= "custom[phone],";

// hack starts here
elseif( $field['field_type'] == 'personnummer' ):
$validation .= "custom[onlyPersonnummer],funcCall[validatePersonalNumber]";


custom[onlyPersonnummer] causes regex check against the regex defined in wp-content/plugins/user-meta/assets/js/jquery/validationEngine-en.js (Step 1).
funcCall[validatePersonalNumber] calls a function “validatePersonalNumber” defined in Step 2.

That’s it. Hope it helps.
