Registration: Administrators only

[Krip730]

This would be a great mod to use and also to be able to disable the registrations all together or to have to approve registrations.

I've made a mod that you can cancel  registration of new members.

you can see it at:

www.ocbrasil.com.br/forum

and try to register

Wonderful idea, this will make private forums much more secure

[Krip730]

thanx dude... but still looking for a script that only allows for admins to register new users.

[thedeeve]

Me TOO!!! I'm looking at other Message board programs because of this issue.

this would be a great mod

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

well i could give u the code to make it so only admins can see the register screen and make new users.

(from there you could put the persons email in and make it generate a random pass)

however i'm not sure if thats what you want...

[Krip730]

i do think this is what people are after...

ok, in subs.php line 132

Code Select Expand

   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>";
change to

Code Select Expand

   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>";
then line 31

Code Select Expand

   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>"; }
change to

Code Select Expand

   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>"; }
then on line 170:

Code Select Expand

   $yyuname = ($username == 'Guest') ? "$txt[248] <b>$txt[28]</b>. $txt[249] <a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$txt[34]</a> $txt[377] <a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$txt[97]</a>." : "$txt[247] <b>$tmp</b>, ";
change to:

Code Select Expand

   $yyuname = ($username == 'Guest') ? "$txt[248] <b>$txt[28]</b>. $txt[249] <a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$txt[34]</a>" : "$txt[247] <b>$tmp</b>, ";
(making it so only admins can see the register button and guests cant)

Now, to make it more secure so people cant go to
index.php?action=register
and register open up register.php
search for

Code Select Expand

$registerplver="YaBB SE";and add after:

Code Select Expand

is_admin();

and you are done!

(i did not test this, so if you have any problems, or something is wrong just reply here and i'll fix it in this post)

[Edit: Updated: 25th march - line 132 changed, it should work properly now]

[Krip730]

thanx, I tried what you said above but it didnt seem to work for 1.1.0 and there were a few slight changes in the code...

however considering just about every other forum software has this feature if the developers had time it would be nice to have this installed... im sorta sick of re uploading the register.php file all the time lol.

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

I'll have a look at getting it to work in 1.1.

[Krip730]

thanx so much.

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

ok, its only the last step thats having problems, get Boardmod se and then download this:

http://www.ud.2ya.com/yabbse/admin-register.mod

that works with 1.1.0 and 1.0.0
