Registration form AJAX enhancements

[FractalizeR]

What does it do?

Checks for username validity as you type it in registration form
Checks for email validity as you type it in registration form
Checks for password validity as you type it in registration form
Suggests good passwords
Shows strength of your password as you type it in registration form

Points of interest:


No template or code changes. All is done using VBulletin Product API.
Only several custom phrase is used. All others are taken from VBulletin. So, product localization is VERY easy.
All validity checks are implemented using VBulletin API


How to install?

Unpack archive into forum root
Install *.xml file via Admin Control Panel (Product management)


What is NOT done:

No checks implemented for entering captchas as it may seriously lower forum anti-spam security



How to update to latest version?
Overwrite all files by new ones from latest zip and reimport product XML file via Admin Control Panel with "Allow Overwrite" option checked.

Version history:


1.1.7 (24-07-08)

Situation where password = login is now classified as error. New string added for this case (localizers, note).


1.1.6 (22-07-08)

Minified version of ajaxreg.js included in the pack. 1Kb savings :)


1.1.5 (01-07-08)

Fix for checking usernames, containing space character (only fractalizer_ajaxreg_ajax.php file is changed since 1.1.4)


1.1.4 (17-06-08)

Small fix to a bug with username checking on some forums.


1.1.3 (16-06-08)

A fix provided to prevent some browsers from refreshing page after clicking on Password Suggestor button


1.1.2 (16-06-08)

Another attempt to fix checking usernames containing non-latin chars. Should work this time ;)
Icons rearranged to prevent problems with custom styles


1.1.1 (11-06-08)

Template issue fixed (password suggestor is now correctly shown) (skariko)


1.1 (11-06-08)

New feature - password suggestor. New phrases were added for it also to product XML.
New images for password strength added to distro for easy customization.
Functionality of password strength calculation fixed (Quantnet.org, Arbit3r)
non-latin characters problem hopefully fixed (requires iconv PHP extension, autodetected). (ecihanuysal)
Border in IE is now correctly cleared (Jeordie015)

1.0.1 (10-06-08)

Text sanitizing added (AlexanderT).
Password strength images are now shown everywhere (HTML was broken) (TheInsaneManiac, uantnet.org, Lionel)
jQuery is now about 45% less in size (Milad)

[Darkstarproject]

*Installed* - Thanks for this!

[logicuk]

amazing thank you so much mate love this :D

[FractalizeR]

You are welcome!

[NoPretender]

Installed, thanks

[dannykilla]

where do I put fractalizer_ajaxreg.php ?

[FractalizeR]

Into forum root. Near search.php, newthread.php etc.

[dannykilla]

Awesome thanks, great hack

[KURTZ]

Unpack archive into forum root (you may delete *.xml afterwards)

what .xml? :S

[FractalizeR]

product-fractalizer_ajaxreg.xml is not needed in forum root ;) It should be installed via Admin CP

[iBlazee]

thank you.

[KURTZ]

product-fractalizer_ajaxreg.xml is not needed in forum root ;) It should be installed via Admin CP

ah, that's obvious mate ... :)

[Davey]

I'm not getting the password strength coming up visually (the stars).
I just upgraded to 3.7.1 (latest patch also).

Any tips on this? Thanks.

[FractalizeR]

They should come when any of password controls looses focus. Press Tab or click somewhere outside that control. My forum is running 3.7.1 just fine.
Please ensure this folder: \images\rating\ is not empty on your forum installation. You must have rating_0.gif, rating_1.gif, rating_2.gif, rating_3.gif, rating_4.gif, rating_5.gif files there.

Also you may be testing too short password (with zero strength :) ).

[Legende]

I've got the same problem with the stars images ;) Using custom skin


Nice mod, waiting for this since Ajax Reg disappeared

[taxick]

Nice - Thx for this nice hack!

[AlexanderT]

Nice hack. I only had a quick glance at the code. One note: It's recommended that you sanitize the $_POST variables before using them (following vB's guidelines):

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
'field' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'value' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'value2' => TYPE_NOHTML,
));

And then use the appropriate sanitized variables (e.g. $vbulletin->GPC['field']).

[Skavenger]

edited.

[FractalizeR]

If you are using custom skin, just replace /images/rating filenames in ajaxreg.js with the images you like.

[FractalizeR]

2Skavenger:
Please execute REPAIR TABLE vb_post on your MySQL server. It is not caused by my mod. Just MySQL crashed on your server on some reason.

[FractalizeR]

2AlexanderT:
Thank you for suggestion. I will do as you say.

Great hack ... but I second the above advice. Could you please upgrade your code with the above?

Thanks

[avsunforum]

Won't show up either? Seems something wrong with folder.

Likewise , I tried this edit to give the correct path but the images do not show.

[tafreeh]

Before installation i n gotta ask some question... i m already using a similar hack,
i think its this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144869

or here is the live demo for my hack: www.tafreehmela.com/register.php

so i want to know, if u want your hack, do i need to upgrade or uninstall my current one and install urs...

Thanks

[TheInsaneManiac]

FractalizeR, the rating images show up only in FireFox, but not in internet explorer. That may be why others do not see the ratings.

[Doctor Death]

Same issue here. Custom Skin, no stars. Good looking mod tho.

[ecihanuysal]

installed the mod, but i am using a turkish character system on my vB. so some letters became a problem at the registration. when i typed an existing user name, here your hack couldnt find any error about it. i tried it with the letter "ç".

some possible related letters(special characters) are: Ç,Ş,İ,Ü,Ğ,Ö,ü,ş,ç,ö,ğ,ı

so can we solve it?

[Skavenger]

Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread xD. I don't even use this mod =P

[Milad]

Can you include some a compressed version of the jquery file?

[Quantnet]

instead of showing the password strength images, I have this text
Password quality: <img src="images/rating/rating_2.gif />

[Lionel]

instead of showing the password strength images, I have this text
Password quality: <img src="images/rating/rating_2.gif />

try putting the missing quote <img src="images/rating/rating_2.gif" />

[citroenar]

The same problem is with Slovenian characters (??Č??č).

Hopefully the author will post a small fix to the rating...

That hack was reported to contain security vulnerabilities. Author didn't provide any patch and that hack is now unavailable for download (moved to graveyard).

[OcR Envy]

I actually have my registration hacked so that it requires new members to match(confirm) their user name with a custom profile field, is there a way to have this hack do the ajax to make sure the two inputs match?

[FractalizeR]

I guess this out of purpose of this hack, but this can be done using simple JavaScript or AJAX of course. Depends on functionality you need.

[OcR Envy]

I have it done with simple Javascript I'm just wondering if I can add the ajax this script uses to look "pretty" ;)

[merk_aus]

amazing great mod

[Arbit3r]

Very nice, i remember there was an older one for 3.6.x. I hope this one will look as good as the beta 4.0 version of it. I remember it would divide the process into multiple steps to help users. First username then password so on..

[Quantnet]

Instead of defaulting the weakest password to images/rating/rating_0.gif, you should make the lowest one images/rating/rating_1.gif because rating_0.gif is an empty space.

Also change Password quality to Password strength.

[Arbit3r]

Yeah i agree or have that power bar system the old mod used. May i also recommend using a green tick symbol for correct entries. This mod has allot of potential but needs some tweeking.

[Hostboard]

Installed using default VB skin and was not able to get the password strength images to appear.

[Darkstarproject]

Tested with a very complex password, and images show.

I would agree with some sort of Check Mark for a good Username/Password

[Jase2]

Looks great! Still more work to do, though IMO. A tick would be good for a "good" username, although that can be easily added.

Also, when entering a password, only one star shows for a 4/5 star....but near the end :S

[rootnik]

Does this check our vbulletin option for "username regular expression" while validating the username?

[TCB]

looks real fancy and user friendly. Thanks a lot :)

[ecihanuysal]

character problem still exists.. uninstalled..

[Stifmeister2]

Does this work for 3.6.x ?

[Jase2]

Stifmeister2, if it worked for 3.6 then it would of been released in the 3.6 section ;)

It may work, but this is a 3.7 release.

[hubix]

Hello,

would it be possible to show the warning messages for the password field after entering it in the second field? Without that change you are getting the warning just after filling out the first one and the user may think, he made something wrong.
And i think on message per line would be enough.
The same change would be nice for the email field.
It would smoothen this script in my opinion.
Maybe others want that too.

And the rating stars appear in Firefox without editing any scripts, just not on IE.

[malag]

thanks, good hack.

[James Desalus]

Excellent! I've been looking for this!

[Jeordie015]

This is a somewhat minor thing, but at least in Internet Explorer, as you're typing in the fields, the border around the text field disappears (or does it go black?). Is there a way to keep the border from disappearing/going black while typing in the field?

[abrecher]

Thank you for this mod, great work. I'd like to suggest the following two items for your next release, let me know if you agree with me:

- "Please fill out both password fields" shouldn't show unless the user actually skips the password field(s) and starts entering their Email Address

- The same for the email address fields. The "You have left a required field blank." message shouldn't show up unless they sipped to the next item.

After typing in these two suggestions I see that I'm not the only one interested in this modification.

[Hornstar]

Installed and nominated for MOTM so wonderful to finally have this for 3.7 where it works and does not need any template edits.

[FractalizeR]

I would agree with some sort of Check Mark for a good Username/Password
What exactly do you suggest? What is "good" username?

Does this check our vbulletin option for "username regular expression" while validating the username?
Yes, VBulletin internal routines are used for validation.

character problem still exists.. uninstalled..
Does your forum use UTF encoding?

Does this work for 3.6.x ?
Never tested, but it should work.

1.1 looking good great work, Iv attached some files of another mod i realy like so you can see what they have done.

[skariko]

I have updated but when i click on the image near the password it shows me a popup with a blank page.

[FractalizeR]

Which browser is that? I tested on latest FireFox 2 and IE7 - all works fine. Have you unpacked ALL files from archive to the forum root directory?

[testebr]

Change to Yahoo UI! Why? Because vbulletin load it by default.

[FractalizeR]

I don't use Yahoo UI.

[skariko]

Which browser is that? I tested on latest FireFox 2 and IE7 - all works fine. Have you unpacked ALL files from archive to the forum root directory?

With FFX 3.0 (RC2) and IE7.
I had re-download, re-extract all the files and i have re-upload the .xml file but it is always blank :D

You can see it here:
http://www.czeta.it/forum/register.php

[abrecher]

Where is password suggestor located ?

[FractalizeR]

Near "Enter password" box in Registration page.
Issue with password suggestor is fixed in 1.1.1. Just uploaded.

[Darkstarproject]

What exactly do you suggest? What is "good" username?


Should have been more clear, when a new user enters a name, if it is not taken, show a check mark or something, I like the green border, but users are more drawn to check marks.

BTW, this hack is awesome!, and I will continue to use it.

[skariko]

Near "Enter password" box in Registration page.
Issue with password suggestor is fixed in 1.1.1. Just uploaded.

Cool, now it's ok.
Good work :)

[KURTZ]

so we need to replace only the files and overwrite the product? or delete/unistall?

[Seb@]

not work for me don't check the user

[FractalizeR]

so we need to replace only the files and overwrite the product? or delete/unistall?
If you had 1.1 installed, then it is enough to reimport XML only. If 1.0.x - replace all files and reimport XML. No need to delete/uninstall. Just overwrite.

not work for me don't check the user
What exactly the problem is? Could you please describe more detailed?

[Hostboard]

There is a file that is no longer being used from the previous install (fractalizer_ajaxreg.php) I removed the file, uninstalled and re-installed. Works perfectly. Thank you!

Also suggestion...
1. Suggested passwords should include option to include symbols to make them stronger.

2. Password suggestion window should have a "close" link/button.

What exactly happens on your forums when you enter non-latin symbols as username? What encoding does your forum display it's pages in? UTF-8?

[taxick]

Hallo

I have just updated the hack to 1.1.1 :D

But now there is post icons in page. :confused::confused:

See the images :)

[Hostboard]

I would try to uninstall and remove the files from this and prior version(s) and re-install fresh.

I know most of the time overlaying the install "should" work but too many times it has caused erroneous operations in many modifications thus I find it easier just to re-do the installs.

[Keyser Soze]

What exactly happens on your forums when you enter non-latin symbols as username?Everything's working fine if I am using the default vbulletin register-page. It is even possible to insert arabic (http://forum.modopo.com/members/1571158116041609-160216041576-52719.html), russian (http://forum.modopo.com/members/10441077108510801089-44231.html) and chinese (http://forum.modopo.com/members/3056119981305283051130528-45661.html) letters.
But it does not work as soon as I enable your addon. If I enter the username "Денис", it says that it is free although it is obviously already taken.

Have the same problem :(

[Hostboard]

The red "X" image is a default VB image. If you right click and view properties it will tell you the image name and location of the file. Login to your site via FTP and confirm the image exists. If not copy it over from your /images/... directory.

I am thinking that you are using a custom style and the image is not in the right location.

[Jase2]

I think "Password Strength" is more appropriate than "Password Quality". Good work nonetheless ;)

Can u Do this Confirmation for CAPTCHA ??

[andrewtr89]

You seem to have non-standard style. Open ajaxreg.js and replace there "images/icons/icon5.gif" with image URL you want.

Everything's working fine if I am using the default vbulletin register-page. It is even possible to insert arabic, russian and chinese letters. But it does not work as soon as I enable your addon. If I enter the username "Денис", it says that it is free although it is obviously already taken.
Thanks for explanation. I will try to look into this problem.

what does this do any good if we have ajax installed anyway? any purpose for thismods?
You cannot have AJAX just installed because AJAX is a technology any modern browser is capable of. Please read pruduct description well.

Does this accept .uk e-mail addresses? As the previous version didnt. Thanks

How to uninstall there are no errors
Please read VBulletin Manual to learn how to uninstall/disable products.

There is a small problem. when I chose my name in Arabic there is a message appear to me said please write your user name, but when I chose my name in English everything same to be fine. So please can you help me.

I think "Password Strength" is more appropriate than "Password Quality". Good work nonetheless
You can change the phrase to what you want using VBulletin phrase manager. All phrases are in "register" group.

Can u Do this Confirmation for CAPTCHA ??
I am not sure I will. Captcha confirmation seriously lowers forum anti-spam protection. Additionally, it is impossible to make verifications for all human-verify classes it seems.

Unfortunately, I don't know what problem do you have... I tested scripts on IE7 and all works fine. May be you have some popup blocker active?

[Auron]

l experienced the same problem as taxick, l tried using IE6 and also tested with Firefox, however l will update the thread once l have tried the new update.

[Darkstarproject]

Works fine for me in IE7

[Auron]

just ran another test, lm still getting refreshed to the main forum index when clicking the generate password link, just FYI lm using 3.7.1.. l did have another ajax reg mod installed but due to it being moved into the waste basket due to an exploit or something l had to remove it...

on a side note, is there a way for you to make the passwords bit optional without having to remove it from the code? like a vboption or something... or keep the password generator but have it more as a DHTML popup on a similar scale to the DHTML popup that l think is available for pm notification.. was a 3.6 mod (l think)

[FractalizeR]

Do you have any popup blockers active? That popup uses window.open javascript function, that could be blocked by some firewall apps. However, that should'nt be a reason of redirecting to main forum page. If you are redirected to register.php, that explains something... Are you?

[KM7]

Great product, but unfortantly it doesn't check Arabic user names (cp1256) well. Hope you can do something about it.

[FractalizeR]

Auron, page refresh issue seem to be fixed in 1.1.3 I just uploaded. Test please.

KM7, does my mod say, that username is available while it is really not?

[Mr.samy]

After i Update to 1.1.2 ... username check not work

[FractalizeR]

What does it mean "not work"?

[Auron]

cheers mate, IE doesnt seem to refresh any more, the password generator could use a title on the popup but l guess it works and lm just nit picking... many thanks anywho!!

[Auron]

just had a thought, that password rating mod could be quite neat in the usercp area when changing password..

[citroenar]

so,
username check dont work at all now.everything else is ok.

Hello,

very nice modification. :)

I would wish me for the future a username check and an Image Verification check.

Well done.

*edit*
It also would be nice if it shows the password quality check while typing the password into the box and not only when the passwords were already typed into the box.

[Keyser Soze]

I can confirm that this addon does not check the username at all in the latest version. Please test your addon before uploading the next version.

[FractalizeR]

I am sorry, I left one debug statement and on some forums it terminated script execution with error. Fixed in 1.1.4.

Still, I cannot find a major solution to a problem with international names checking... If anyone has any suggestions, I will appreciate that.

If anyone having this problem can install a copy of his forum and give me MySQL+PHP access to that copy (it can be an empty forum at all, just having username entries, that cannot be checked with my hack) I will highly appreciate your help.

[Seb@]

thanks men works perfect

[FractalizeR]

You are welcome!
Non-latin usernames checking work also?

[Mr.samy]

thanks dear for update ...

After updating to 1.1.4 ... username check work good but there an problem with Arabic names

the name is already register and it appear the name is available to register ..

Note : 1.1.1 version worked well to me with arabic names

[entertain]

@Mr.samy:

Same problem with letters like ?,?,? and so on. :(

[Mr.samy]

I think the problem in files ... because i still with product version 1.1.4 with files version 1.1.1 and works very good now with arabic name and utf8 encoding

[xXEsEtUlOnXx]

thanks, the update fix the problem..

[abrecher]

thanks, the update fix the problem..

Same here, thanks for the update.

[TheInsaneManiac]

What exactly was the bug in the username field?

[FractalizeR]

Entered username field contents was put into log.txt file by file_put_contents function. I left that function there by mistake. Used it for debugging purposes.

the name is already register and it appear the name is available to register ..

both arabic and english names.

hope the aurther can solove this problem.

Installed!

Thanks,... Installed and clicked.

I did notice that it suggested a username on the reg page is good even if it is not. Only fails upon initial testing, if username includes a space in it where a pre-existing username with space in it already exists. Single word no-space usernames seem to verify properly.

v:1.1.4 installed

I never got this error so that must mean it was put into a txt file. Mind telling me where it is? I like to keep any files I don't use off my server.

[FractalizeR]

It is in the root forum directory. Where fractalizer_ajaxreg* files reside.

Can you please rephrase your sentence? I doubt I understood something...

[smirkley]

Can you please rephrase your sentence? I doubt I understood something...


No problem....

1 - The modification seems to work well.

2 - I have a username already registered,.. we'll call it "DomainName"

3 - I also have a username registered ,.. we'll call it "Domain Name" (with a space)

4 - Both are valid validated accounts

5 - after installing the ajax reg modification I then go to the registration page and begin entering in usernames, and as expected it checks and indicates whether it is already used or not, right?

6 - When I enter in "DomainName", it finds it and sets it as already used.

7 - But, and here is where I had the problem, if I enter in "Domain Name" with the space, it says the name is available, where I know it is not and I know it is already used.


I am using the latest VB version. Very unmodded with only two other modifications installed, spider display and cyb subforums, so I dont think it is conflicting with any other modifications.


Thanks for your reply, and I really like this hack.

[FractalizeR]

Thank you for reporting. I will have a look. Our hypothetic "DomainName" contains only latin characters or national also?

[smirkley]

No non-latin or otherwise unusual charachters at all, aside from the space in between the two words. Strictly English on my site.

Thanks

Unzip the file that you downloaded from above. You will see 2 folders - clientscript and images - upload the contents of each of those folders into the clientscript and images folders on your site by FTP. The 2 .php files are uploaded into the main directory (where you see your admincp, modcp folders, functions.php file, etc.

Then go into your Admin panel - Plugins and Products - Manage Products - Add/Import product, find the product-fractalizer_ajaxreg.xml file and upload.

Then go to

Thanks for Update, Working Fine :D

Thanks again.

so basically, does this overwrite any VB file? If so I would have to install this mode after every VB update :(

[FractalizeR]

No need to reinstall product after every VB update. It will keep installed and working until you manually disable or uninstall it.

works like a charm.

the xml version wasnt updated - you can do that manually

Does this also check the password against the username to make sure they don't match?

[FractalizeR]

I didn't update XML on such minor update. It will be nasty for some users to reupload it for nothing.

Does this also check the password against the username to make sure they don't match?
No. Should it?

[Ratchet]

No. Should it?Yes. There there was a spambot running around the net a few days ago that hit a few hundred websites (including ours). It gained access to hundreds of accounts which it used to spam thousands of PMs to other users by simply using the account username as the account password.

More here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=278975) and here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279398).

It seems like requiring a password that is different from the username would be a simple hack to add.

[jayzy1]

Works well, great mod, installed & running smoothly on 3.7.2 PL1
Product manager shows v1.1.5 though, although i installed the latest version?

edit:
ok, Just read 2 posts above, manually changed mine to read v1.1.6

Nice work, this will truly help harden the password system that bit more. Lets hope I dont have too many users currently with the same username and password.

I'm using this product, but my forum is in Hebrew, so the ajax thing about the username being available, isn't working, when using usernames in hebrew, what can I do?

I'm not getting any recommendations for stronger passwords, why?
and for other nicknames, in English too, when trying to register with a username (in english) that already exists, it doesn't tells me that the nick isn't available during registration(on the time I'm typing the username), just after I click, "register".

Unfortunately, I still have no time to investigate the problem with national characters. The reason is simple: forums use various encodings to display pages, but JavaScript (and AJAX) use Unicode. Javascript has no tools for code page conversion so... That's a problem.

[trilljester]

Fractalizer: Great mod, it's nice to have some visual feedback when registering.

Any chance for some Green checkmarks or something more than just highlighting the boxes green when things match up? Maybe a small phrase that indicates to the new user that everything is good when they match up or choose a username that isn't taken?

when I type in username "bart" it says the username is taken (which is correct)
if I type in the username "bart20" it also says the username is taken (which is incorrect)

is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

thanks in advance

That doesn't happen on my site. I tried Jester (said it was taken), then tried Jester20 and it said it was available.

it wont work m8 im running vb 3.7.2 only the password field works but if i login on another page but keep the reg page up it works then

[Mutt]

like the mod. very nice. I just installed it and on the registration page it's great but there's nothing on edit email & password page. does this hack not work on that page or is there something wrong on my end.

if the answer is this is only for the registration page, what would it take to get it in the usercp as well.

thanks

thnx man

[Savage702]

I was hoping some Savvy vb admin could help me out here... my registrations require a First and Last name, ie John Doe (with the space and all). I haven't been successful in VB of entering the proper expression to force this as a registration requirement. Right now I ban anyone that creates an improper username, it'd be great to use this mod and have the proper expression to make this come together properly.

[entertain]

This mod uses VBulletin engine to check email. So, if VBulletin checks that, mod does also.
okay, but when i enter a blocked e-mail adress your mod says, that you can use it. Only then, when you click at "Complete Registration" you get the message that you can't register you with this e-mail address.

Can you take a look on it and say me if it is working in your community?

Thanks.

[craig5320]

This mod uses VBulletin engine to check email. So, if VBulletin checks that, mod does also.

This doesn't seem to be the case on my board (3.7.2), I don't allow hotmail or yahoo addresses, but they verify ok, but then on completing registration you get the prompt that it's a banned address.

Keep up the good work :up:
